    "If earth is the only place where people live, is actually the least lonely place in the universe. There are plenty of people to be love by, and plenty of people to love." that was the most beautiful thing i ever heard. Thank you Oliver for those words

    "By drawing lines in the sky we've attempted to make sense of chaos, and by drawing lines on the earth we've tried to determine where we belong and where we don't; but they're all just stories." People live here. So poetic. ❤️

    ived well, laughed often, and loved much;
    Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
    Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
    Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
    Who has left the world better than he found it,
    Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
    Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
    Whose life was an inspiration;
    Whose memory a benediction.

    Amazing Oliver Jeffers! A truly inspiring author and illustrator for all ages (young and old alike). His works encourage the human race to question our ways and be more mindful of our choices. My favourite quote from 'An ode to living on Earth', "We have the wildest of opportunities to hit the reset button." In my opinion we have to change for the better good (of everyone) learn from our mistakes and move forward for every living thing to "Share the Planet" in harmony. Equally, inclusively, honestly, without judgement and with tolerance for each other in all respects. We need to prioritise looking after our Planet Earth and all of the precious living things arounds us. Stop fighting, settle differences amicably, value each other and protect our Earth now and for future generations.

    This is so nice and his voice is so soothing to listen to, I got goosebumps all over my body the whole time and I had tears in the corners of my eyes that didn't want to fall because it was so nice to watch they didn't want to blur my view and it makes me feel so calm, oh how I love this life and our little buddy called Earth. 💙💚🤍

  • @hemalpatel1170

    V nice! One important message I'd like to pass is 'There is only one Earth. There is nothing else. So it's v important for the preservation of that which remains rather than the replacement of what's missing or gone. There's been too much regression in the name of politics + business, but you won't know. Because over a grandeur scale, nothing matters YET over a personal scale, everything matters (even as little as the amount of sugar we put in tea, or soda in whiskey or the intensity/authenticity of our smiles or the firmness/tone of our voices or the depths of our longings or the evil in our eyes & more). There won't be another Earth. Time to change the basics!"

    We should ignore multinationals, governments and greedy cretins. We should ignore their fossil fuel, their products and their lack of respect for our Human Rights, our Freedom and Democracy. I'm a ONE MAN ARMY and I fight against all the above. I don't want them, I don't need them and I refuse to buy them. If YOU could become a ONE MAN ARMY and fight against harm, we can make more than 7.000.000.000 armies and win the protection of us Humans, our Earth with it's Flora and Fauna, our clean Air and Waters with everything in them. Please, become a ONE MAN ARMY, today!

      We can't just ignore them, but we sure can boycott them friend! They rely on us, for giving them our hard earned money, so when we stop "donating" to them, they lose their power and their hold on us. Every bit of effort, is a good effort!
