"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
Ok, as I was writing the previous post, I hear talking upstairs in the girl's bedroom. I sneak up the steps, Ve is sound asleep and Tuks is sitting up in bed "reading" the book "We're going on a bear hunt" word for word from beginning to end. It was so cute to hear her "read" the book. She finally noticed me, asked me what I was doing and I told her that she is a real good reader, and that I like hearing her read. I then asked her to lay down while she read in hopes she will slowly fall to sleep.
Boy, Three year olds are tough, they switch from totally adorable and huggable to complete bears... can't help but love 'em though.
