"We are branches of a great tree, our mother nature. Some branches stay close, but others cross mountains, cross borders, cross the seas. But let's never forget that our feet, our roots remain anchored to the fundamentals, of our growth. life takes us from one place to another, but our soul will always be there, from where one is and was always happy. "
