I was thinking of how easily our safe world is shaken. We, who live in a ”safe” part of the world cannot understand the horrors of those in unstable countries with war, devastation, starvation. Where people, nature and wild animals pay a high price every day. But we can imagine. We see it every day in the media. It is not easy to turn it off, to fend it off, to ignore it.
In my blog, as in my life, I try to focus on beauty and harmony. It makes me feel better, and I believe it makes others feel better too. Our children and grandchildren need us to be strong and calm. Here are only a couple of great quotes of yours that I often use:
“Here we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it we can destroy the only planet we have?”
― Jane Goodall
You urge us not to lose hope. ”If you lose hope, you become apathetic and do nothing. And if you want to save what is still beautiful in this world – if you want to save the planet for the future generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then think about the actions you take each day.”
“Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.”
So, remember –
“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
Dear Jane, with you, one of our brightest lights is gone. Thank you for everything you have given to us. Your kind eyes, soft voice and clear wisdom will stay with us – a legacy that will last forever. I am grateful to have lived in a time when you were here too. On planet Earth.
Love, Ann-Christine. Emma and David

Dear Ann-Christine
We agree as well.
We especially love your second picture. Typically Swedish. For many years, we had a stuga at a lake in Northern Sweden. It looked like in your fine picture.
