7 months later… "Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children." Kenyan Proverb ************************************* The Earth is Sacred, and any soil for building is a precious material. Don t waste it! Building with earth has a great past, but also a promising future everywhere in the world. Don t miss it! I don't see the Earth as a formless material without consciousness, But as Spirit consciously disguised as matter. Satprem Maïni
