Always Remember
The Key To Life
Is Enjoy. What's A-round You?
What is not right.
The purpose of travel,
I'm sure! You agree?
Is that you don't Know!!!
What you do not. See?
Stop using your words,
until you've used your eyes.
Words are! Meaning? Less?
Less and less? Every guess?
Oh yes. Oh. God? Oh! Oh, ho ho ho.
Bless.

Know: I DO NOT;
Believe in 'religion' or any other goddamn dogma.

The Record. :)
Toodle pip!

Oh no! Stop laughing you naysayers! 😅
If even a handful of the 'important' people attending this summit had the strength in their convictions that Greta does, they probably wouldn't have decided to move it to another continent on a whim. 🙄
Nowhere closer to Santiago than Madrid, seriously? And it's 2019!!! Haven't we cracked video conferencing well enough yet?! Greta has earned plenty of respite for her incredible efforts so far and yet she still sticks to her principles for the good of our planet, bless her. 🏋🏼 Not cool , and not cool jeering asshats who feel the need to mock a teenager who has accomplished more than they ever will, literally!! 😑
