Voices of the Rain

“Water sustains all life. Her songs begin in the tiniest of raindrops, transform to flowing rivers, travel to majestic oceans and thundering clouds and back to earth again. When water is threatened, all living things are threatened.”

Indigenous Declaration on Water, 2001

“I close my eyes and listen to the voices of the rain.”
