"Hope only makes sense when it doesn't make sense to be hopeful." - paul hawken

"What I see everywhere in the world are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power, and incalculable odds in order to restore some semblance of grace, justice, and beauty to this world."

-amazing quotes from Paul Hawken's moving commencement address to the University of Portland's 2009 graduating class. read it here and be inspired. i am.

I loooove these! Are they the same ones you did your logo with? We had them in TX, and they always grew WAY up high in the treetops. And the hummingburds loved them :-)

PS -- I run by the site where he gave that speech all the time! Weird heh
