“And so when we talk about intangible values remember that they cannot be separated from the others. The conservation of waters, forests, soils, and wildlife are all involved with the conservation of the human spirit.

“But maybe prayer is a road to rise, A mountain path leading toward the skies To assist the spirit who truly tries.

And perhaps the reward of the spirit who tries Is not the goal, but the exercise!”
