Listen to the Quiet
This is worth a watch. It is a beautiful, touching, heartrending reminder of what we stand to lose if we don’t wake up and accept the responsibility of stewardship, of caring, of realizing we are not the only ones in this world who matter. https://youtu.be/06uYTjKwS1E?si=4_04qAcDyusg8Ha3
