"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 girls and I attended a local jazzier version of the Nutcracker yesterday. What was so extra amazing about it to me was there were at least over six students that I have taught over the years in this ballet. The lead, Clara, who is now an 8th grader was in my science class last year, One of the dancers I had several years when I taught 7th and 8th grade and she is now a Junior...I could go on and on. It was wonderful as always. I love the Nutcracker in all its versions. Now I am in the mood for the Christmas season....I am thinking we try and get a Christmas tree over our Thanksgiving break since we are right on top of December.
