Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Mary Lane
At this time in history it is obvious to everyone that we humans can not be healthy on an unhealthy planet. It is no longer just about us and has never been more prudent to honor and respect the wisdom and intelligence of nature as a way to live. After 30 years of being focused on nourishment I must say that I have yet to find anyone more intelligent about how to live and eat in a way that supports the continuation of life and support of all conce
ed better than our great Mother Earth. I have turned to her as my teacher and offer what I have learned from this master who has nourished us for thousands of years. This depth of nourishment supports the health of body, mind and spirit and does not separate the mundane from the sacred. She has got it down!
