Love that quote! It is like in one of St. Expury's books (spelling? The guy who wrote The Little Prince).... In the book Arab people visited a country that had all the water it needed... They looked at lakes and waterfalls as the greatest riches of man. But the locals thought nothing of all that water. Gorgeous flowers !
