Land is especially precious.  It is our very foundation.  Land offers

a foothold to all life as we know it.  It is land that cradles our oceans and lakes,

land that bottoms our rivers and streams.  It cellars our pantry and

supplies nutrients necessary to the daily and continued existence of all creatures. 

It offers house and home to teeming trillions.  Land, like water, is a requisite to

be cherished, honored, esteemed and protected.


Come, let's rain goodwill across the land
