Seventh Generation

Macy took this picture at Omega.....It is a piece of artwork which expresses the seventh generation way of life. It reminds me of this quote that my friend Shannon used to wear on her shirt.......

"Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children."

anyway.....I hope you have a great day. I hope you get to get outside and enjoy nature.

see below.

Love,

Michele


Traditionally, indigenous people would not make any environmental changes until they had carefully considered how it would affect the ecology of their descendants seven generations down the line. This is because indigenous people have direct contact with the responsibilities given to their ancestors and, also, have direct contact with their own responsibilities to the generations yet unborn. Native Americans feel all generations are connected and believe we must think of the effects of decisions made today on the Seventh Generation regarding such matters as preservation of the environment.
