"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
In honor of all veterans and especially my dad and our neighbor A, who just passed. Both my father and A served in the Korean war.
This photo is of A, when he was younger with his red dobie. We had his service yesterday. I made a strawberry rhubarb coffee cake from the rhubarb that I transplanted from his new place last year.
Today we went to his home and planted 1000 periwinkles. He had ordered them and they arrived to him home this past Friday, so the girls and I planted them where he had intended.
