(Submitted by The Office of Wangari Maathai)
Mount Kenya used to be a holy mountain for my people, the Kikuyus. They believed that their God dwelled on the mountain and that everything good - the rains and clean drinking water - flowed from it. As long as they saw the clouds (the mountain is a very shy mountain, usually hiding behind clouds), they knew they would get rain.
We love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Germany
