“If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology.
We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created,
not just as it looked when we got through with it.”

Wise words indeed.
Do you know some inner city children here are taken too farms on school trips so they can see domestic farm animals. How do we get through to these kids who only ever see city streets..the country side is something they see on TV..!
I wonder if Lady Bird Johnson inspired Lyndon to say these words. I know she cared deeply about the earth and she seeded wildflowers all over her state of Texas. They are beautiful, make the state beautiful. But I didn't ever think of him as a conservationist, rather I thought of him as a social justice activist.
I didn't realise he was such a profound thinker....perhaps he had a good speechwriter...!
That's beautiful! Needed that. Happy WW!
