In any case, for whatever reasons, and by whatever name, Ponce de Leon died without ever discovering his fountain of youth. But we have. We have rediscovered a magnificent, slow-flowing fountain so vast that it can create and modify its own weather systems, so powerful it filters and purifies rainwater runoff, so refreshing it can evaporate up and shower down the same pure water again and again in one day. It is a fountain that replenishes and sustains all plant and animal life. A fountain so complex only the Creator could have designed it. So valuable we almost destroyed it. So beautiful it has united us here today to restore it forever. If we succeed in our efforts, the magic in water will heal not only mankind, but the whole of creation; it will keep the landscape itself in a perpetual state of renewal, of youth, of wonder. It will baptize us, surprise us, recharge our spirits. It will flow through our fountain - our River of Grass -- from which hope springs eternal.
