The quotes below were taken from the beginning of the book “Cradle to Cradle”, on which I have written previously. Written by William McDonough & Michael Braungart, this ground-breaking book, constructed entirely from synthetic plastic with no wood fibers used in its production, is prominently mentioned in another great book written for the sake of our environment, “This Moment on Earth”…
“The world will not evolve past its current state of crisis by using the same thinking that created the situation.” -- Albert Einstein
“Glance at the sun.
See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of the earth’s greening.
Now, think.” -- Hildegard von Bingen
“What you people call your natural resources our people call our relatives.’ -- Oren Lyons, faith keeper of the Onondaga

My Quotes
And departure, leave behind us, footprints on the sand of time.
Footprints that perhaps another forlorn and shipwrecked brother
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us then be up and doing
With a heart of any fate
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (from A Psalm of Life).
(Rube - you rock my socks!)
Thank you for this.
Rubicon is thinking. :) I believe we all are.
Tintinnabulation
Yesterday
and today
and the day before yesterday
and the year before last year before the last decade
I had problems finding the president
who outlawed the great religions
of other great Nations
of this continent.
Great textbooks were hiding great shame
and the little president who didn't know what greatness was
hid behind the house of white not knowing
that instead of outlawing someone's religion
he should have issued a proclamation
That the American Indian--
have religions greater then his.
