At every step the child should be allowed to meet the real experience of life;
the thorns should never be plucked from his roses.
~Ellen Key (December 11, 1849 – April 25, 1926)
International Mountain Day
Meet your mountain
climb to its top.
Nurture your rose
smell its sweet fragrance.
Spread your sunshine
embrace others within its rays.
