Man has long sought truth and meaning in the world around him. The constant human struggle is to find one's place in this world. Conditions of existence often seem to conspire against the pursuit of peace, happiness, and knowledge. The everyday trudge can take its toll and often times it is easy to lose track of who and what we are. We are carbon. We are air. We are water. We are the rocks and the trees. We are the rivers and the oceans. The mountains and the fields. We are all and nothing. You are me and I am you. There is nothing that cannot be taught, nothing that cannot be learned. We only need to be listening, for the silence within.
