A TALE OF GUARDIANS

I have heard a tale about a group of people ... ordinary people … from all walks of life:

Explorer, Boat Builder, Computer whizz, Pianist, Electrician, Martial Artists, Teacher, Child,

Photographer, Professor ... the list is long and growing every day.


These people have one thing in common, well actually they have more than one thing

in common, but for now you only need to know about one of them, and that is;

Guardians of the Earth. 

 

No its not a new film by Marvel. 

Its older and more established than that, its been there in the underground, waiting for

the right time, the right time to sprout up through the earth and show itself to the World.

That time is now, the Guardians are here.

They have been working in the background, behind the scenes, grafting, dedicated, recruiting …


You should take a look, digest everything you see and read, think about it for a day or two then go back and look again ... You’ll see more the second time.

You may even come up with some questions, if you do, then ask them.

Get everything clear in your mind before you decide to become a Guardian yourself.

There are no great words -

or great philosophy.

It's just a simple and honest idea.

Guardians of the Earth are building bridges. Bridges between Nature
and people, religions, organizations, continents, nations and generations.
