One of the Polish student had found the letter in the jar while we we cleaning the waste dump in Odense.
Here it is:
When your dreams start to seem so impossible,
when roadblocks are all you can see,
look beyond all the problems that face you
and focus on possibilities.
Don’t limit your thoughts to the present
or solutions you have learned from the past.
Remember to keep looking forward -
you may find the answer at last.
It is you who determines your future;
how your journey through tomorrow will be.
To fill all your days with adventure,
dare to see what no one else dares to see.
So never let obstacles stop you
or keep you from doing your part.
Have faith that your dreams are all possible,
if you truly believe in your heart.
***
Treat the earth well.
It was not given to you by your parents.
It was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
***
Cherokee Prayer Blessing
May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.
