To the left is a NASA image of the eastern hemisphere. It is hard to believe there are close to seven billion humans inhabiting this beautiful planet!

Here is the western hemisphere in late January 2012. These images reinforce in me,

why teaching is so important; part of our role is to guide our fellow inhabitants to value and safeguard our home.

To lighten my thoughts, I started looking at spring flowers....can't imagine why?

What does this image bring to your mind?
