Hope 4 America

Independence Day

It would be nice if on this Independence Day, all Americans would help escalate the efforts that have already been being made to make amends to our first people here ~ our Native American Indians ~ whose wisdom has always held the keys to our sacred land and environment.

"In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the people."

The Streams Chanting

Do you hear the flower-bells ringing.

The birds singing.

The wind's whisper.

The streams chanting.

Do you see the butterflies dancing.:)

A work of Art takes us into our selves.

A Wonderful video

Even the tiny Lace Wing has a place in our world.

Mothers Day

THE AMAZING MOTHER TIGER - INCREASINGLY RARE

With less than 4,000 tigers left in the wild, each new life represents hope for the future. A new tiger mom has her work cut out for her. The cubs are dependent on mom for nearly two years as she feeds, protects and educates them on how to survive.

THE AMAZING MOTHER ORANGUTAN

The highly intelligent orangutan is the ultimate do-it-yourself mom. She spends nearly all her life high up in the trees, where she builds a new nest every single night from branches and foliage, fashioning more than 30,000 homes in her lifetime! She also never puts her babies down, generally nursing offspring until they reach the age or 6 or 7—that's the longest dependence of any animal on Earth.
