"1986 riding with my friend Olga with her arms around me and my younger brother Federico riding next to us. On Earth Day I feel grateful for the way I was brought up. We grew up sustainable from a utilitarian need. My family has been in the same place for six generations and my mother still lives off the grid. Things were made well so they could last as we were exposed to the elements and the force of Nature. So quality was also learned from this utilitarian perspective. Few but good was how we consumed and lived. Thank you to Gaia, Pachamama, Mother Earth. And to my own mother for being a priestess sorcerer of Nature herself. The values and skills taught to me have proven to get me thru every challenge or obstacle. Gracias!" - Gabriela
