What if there was a place that expressed our awe for nature? A place outside of time, an island of tranquility. A place where the elephants watch over you, where whales lullaby you to sleep. A place where you fall in love with nature. A place of stillness where silence becomes audible. A place where the mysteries of nature are embraced. A place where there is no why, and you remember things you thought you forgot. A place to be humbled and amazed, where you breathe the air of birds, where you dance on the bottom of the sea, when you look through the eyes of a cheetah. Where animals are the story-tellers, and man the apprentice. A place of refuge, a place of bliss, a place of hope, a place to dream, a place to make a wish, a place that is not about possessing, but about sharing. A place that changes your heart. There is such a place. ~ Gregory Colbert, Ashes and Snow
