"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

TukiLogic "To the Moon"


Hanging with Beatrice. Not much to say except she is more relaxed, and doing better with each passing day. She even says "Thank you" and "may I be excused" within context and all on her own without any prompting by me.

Several weeks ago, before Kiki went on his six month sabbatical (he left the same day Ve came home so he has yet to meet her) 600 miles south of New Zealand, Tuki felt the need to set up our next trip.

Tuki: I am going to the moon

Me & Kiki: How are you going to get there?

Tuki: When I get bigger, I am going to take a rowket and fwy to the moon. Do you want to go with me Mama?

me: Yes I do!!

Tuki: Do you want to go with me Kiki?

Kiki: you bet!!

Me; Ok, it sounds like a plan, when you get older we will fly to the moon.

Now lately Tuks includes Ve as a traveling companion along with me & Kiki.

Funny thing is, I didn't even she knew what a rocket was, and now her favorite Barney video is "Outer Space"

I don't prep her for all this science stuff, she really does come by it naturally!!!
