"...as long as the earth can make a spring every year, I can."

Some wise words from Alice Walker that I love, and wanted to share with you all:

I get energy from the earth itself,

and I get optimism from the earth itself. 

I feel that as long as the earth can make a spring every year, I can. 

As long as the earth can flower and produce nurturing fruit,

I can, because I'm the earth. 

I won't give up until the earth gives up.

  ~  Alice Walker
