"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

The Eve of A Monumental Day


May 11, 2006

Ok, we are on the eve of our one year anniversary of Owl permanently be placed in my arms and my life forever. I celebrated by mowing 1/2 my lawn, after Tuki and I spent a wonderful evening together releasing leopard frogs, wood frogs, toads, spring peepers, green frogs and a tree frog (long story) and then just chillin together. Her eye opened up a little yesterday and now today it is almost 100%. It had been a fantastic 1 year. I was flying into Guatemala by myself on this day and arriving at 10:30pm and then escorted to the Marriott by the hotel's van. I remember how warm the air felt on my skin as I waited for the driver to make sure he didn't forget anyone at the airport. It ended up that I was the only guest arriving that evening. I checked in and fell asleep because the foster mom was coming the next day with Owl.
