Humanity, the most intelligent species on the planet, capable of anything, but is governed by it’s aggression and youth. A species fast in developing but slow in maturing.
Once a species that cared about its home, it’s provider, let it’s ego dominate it’s decisions. A period of ignorance and neglect has had profound effects across the world. Effects which can be reversed, if nature is given the time to repair the damage.
Remember…
We only have one home.
(David Bayliss)
The expression cat nap refers to the light sleeping pattern of most cats, most of the time. In fact, cat sleeps too much, around 70% of its life (from 13 to 16 hours per day) in any unthinkable and unimaginable position.

The future is the indefinite time period after the present. Its arrival is considered inevitable due to the existence of time and the laws of physics. Due to the nature of the reality and the unavoidability of the future, everything that currently exists and will exist is temporary and will come to an end. The future and the concept eternity have been major subjects of philosophy, religion, and science and defining them non-controversially has consistently eluded the greatest of minds.
The future is hidden even from those who make it. (Anatole France)
Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present. (Albert Camus)
I don't try to describe the future. I try to prevent it. (Ray Bradbury)
There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past. (George Carlin)
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one. (Wayne Dyer)
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. (Eleanor Roosevelt)
In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. (Andy Warhol)
My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there (Charles F. Kettering)
For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today (African Proverb)
The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)
I never I never think of the future - it comes soon enough. (Albert Einstein)think of the future - it comes soon enough. (Albert Einstein)
The best way to predict the future is to create it. (Peter Drucker)
The possibilities for tomorrow are usually beyond our expectations
Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future. (Niels Bohr)
When all else is lost, the future still remains. (Christian Bovee)
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution in physics.
In 1895, at the age of 17, Albert applied for early admission into the Swiss Federal Polytechnical School (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule or ETH). He passed the math and science sections of the entrance exam, but failed the rest (history, languages, geography, etc.)! Einstein had to go to a trade school before he retook the exam and was finally admitted to ETH a year later.
He was also not particularly concerned about being well dressed. He also stopped wearing socks because he found his big toe would make a hole in the sock.
Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize for his work in the area of Photoelectric Effect in the year 1921.

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
In a remote area of northern Mexico lies one of the most astonishingly mind-blowing geological wonders on earth – The Crystal Cave of the Giants. This beautifully shimmering natural wonder is found one hour south of Chihuahua and buried more than a thousand feet below the unassuming Naica lead and silver mine.
Crystal Cave of the Giants
DISCOVERY
The Crystal Cave of the Giants was discovered in the year 2000 by two brothers searching for more lead and silver below the already existing Naica mine. The brothers were working for the Naica mine, which was investing in exploratory drilling in hopes of expanding a mine which had been in operation since the late 1700’s. What the brothers found was something of far greater beauty and wealth.
The Crystal Cave of the Giants might never have been found if not for the Naica mine above. The cave remained filled with water for over 600,000 years until it was inadvertently drained by the Naica mining company. Therefore, the Crystal Cave of the Giants is only temporary. The Naica mining company continues to pump over 16,000 gallons of water out of the cave 24 hour a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year. Once the mining operations above are complete the Naica mining company will stop pumping water out of the cave and it will return to it’s natural state – submerged in water.
A THING OF BEAUTY
When you first step into the Crystal Cave of the Giants you are immediately greeted by some of the largest crystals on earth. Gigantic, shimmering spikes of crystal are seen jutting into the cave from every direction like magician’s swords being thrust into his trick box. The largest crystals in the Crystal Cave of the Giants are just over forty feet in length and weigh over ten tons!
The Crystal Cave of the Giants began it’s unimaginable formation over 600,000 years ago. A cave filled with mineral rich water remaining at a constant temperature of 135°F for over half a million years provided the perfect conditions for the formation of these massive crystal structures. The growth of these crystals relied on it’s being submerged in water. Its growth will remain stunted until the cave’s inevitable re-flooding.
FEELING HOT, HOT, HOT?
The Crystal Cave of the Giants is one of the most inhospitable places on earth. While most caves remain at a constant temperature throughout the year, the Crystal Cave of the Giants remain a constant 112°F with a humidity ranging from 90%-100%. Caused by a gargantuan magma chamber lying just beneath the cave, these unbearable and oppressive conditions make exploration a dangerously risky prospect.
With each entry into the cave comes the very real risk of heatstroke. A desperate crystal looter once entered the cave with bags of fresh air in hopes of nabbing a few of the precious crystals. His body was found the next day not only dead but completely roasted.
Entering the cave requires an elaborate outfit that consist of an ice pack-filled body suit and a respirator which continuously pumps cooled air. Even with the these aids explorers are only allowed to remain in the cave for twenty minutes at a time and require a lengthy period of rest and re-hydration before being allowed another entry attempt.
TRAVEL
Because of the intense dangers posed by the cave, only scientists and miners are allowed in the lower chambers of the cave. However, visitors are still allowed in the upper chamber. Arrangements can be made by contacting the Naica mining company.
