Thanks Lisa. this is one of my very favourite pictures too, taken on my first trip through the Kangba Plataeu in 2001. He would be a slightly older prince now.

And every once in a while it pays to look through the eyes of an adult… but not too often.

I ❤ the little prince! as a native woman, i agree whole-heartedly with this quote. we are not inheriting the earth from our ancestors so much as borrowing it from our children, and it is our obligation to care for it, in the name of the Seventh Generation. (The fact that 22JAN is also my birthday was just a plus!!!)

Hi there TSFC
Thanks for your comments. i am glad you scored the jackpot quote on your birthday.
Just googled the 7th generation – ” “In every deliberation, we must consider the impact on the seventh generation… even if it requires having skin as thick as the bark of a pine.” “What about the seventh generation? Where are you taking them? What will they have?” – Mandate of traditional Haudenosaunee Iroquois chiefs.
Love it. And enjoyed your myspace and blog as well.
