"You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of our grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children that we have taught our children that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. All things are connected."

I remember so many of these plants in the Philippines. We called it “Makahiya”
OMG I had this plant when i was little and i would play with it all the time! I didn’t know what the name was. I might just get one again when i get the chance.
