"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 two small chicken coops have now been mucked, but we still have the big chicken coop and the duck coop. We are tired and sore and much to do yet, but I have decided we will continue tomorrow, and then again next weekend. We spread the manure on the garden, and I hope to leave it for a good month before I till it in, then we plant. I started 5 flats of seeds today as well, and I still need need to plant at least two more flats before all my seeds have been started.
It feels good to be so physically busy after nearly one year of nothing, I miss being physical and now this summer hopefully it will come back quickly...
Oh yeah, the frogs started singing a couple nights ago...another plus and sign that spring is here!!
