"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
Tuks talks about owwwies and shots on a regular basis. So much so she states she wants to be a doctor when she grows up. OK, I think good profession, well respected etc.,
But then I think to ask her do you want to be an animal doctor and help animals or a people doctor and help people.
She proceeds to tell me every time, no matter how I present it, that she wants to be an animal doctor.
At this point I am cringing since I know as a teacher, I make more money than a beginning veterinarian makes....thank goodness this is only a nearly 3 year old talking and her dream profession will change many, many times before it becomes a reality. Of course, if she sticks with this dream until adulthood, I will support her dreams all the way. LOL
