The more I am able to deeply love and accept my flaws and imperfections, the more I am able to do that with my fellows.

Water has always been something that I care deeply about, and I'm very aware of its limits on this planet. If we don't change our behavior around water, water will become as valuable as oil. That is a given. When people don't understand that, I'm surprised.

Be here now. It keeps us in a place of love, not fear.

We must help each other to be present and compassionate. Remember that we have no idea what the person next to us is going through; compassion is the only choice.

I love you. Really, I do. Now love yourself more and each other a lot more. And please take care of this precious planet.

I have been asked so many times why I live a green life, why water conservation, why getting wells in places, why work with water organizations, why conserve water at home with double-flush toilets, why I tell my daughters, "Turn off the tap" so much. Sometimes I want to say, "I wish I knew the answer." My answer really is: I don't understand why everyone doesn't feel this way.

The more I have deep love and compassion for my earth and my fellows, the more love and compassion I have for myself, and vice versa.
