"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference." ~ Elie Wiesel

The End of Land
Middle Head Trail in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada was breathtaking.
Here is a poem by the cliffs at the end of the trail
It says (in English and French):
The end of land
We belong to ocean and sky
Clean air, clean water, food
Gifts to all
Life
We ruin with pollution and greed
The end
No life
Cloud, ocean and sun
Empty
Waiting for time
Like the beginning

Hi, Tabatha. Seeing air and water as gifts implies treating them with respect, rather than taking them for granted. Glad you had a wonderful trip!
How nice to find a poem in a public place!
Lovely--and thank you for the pictures!
