“How is your heart? How is your mind? How is your body and how is your body treating you? How is life treating you? Or are you treating your life? I wonder about this word “sustainability.” To me it’s “sustain-ability” to live with earth. Our mind is, of course, gathering information from all points and not one linear beginning and ending.” — Tiokasin Ghosthorse
