Religion is the last thing man will civilize  (The Great Quotes) Working in the garden... gives me a profound feeling of inner peace. Nothing here is in a hurry.

It is almost tautological to affirm that to control the production and distribution of money is to control the wealth, resources, and people of the world  (The Great Quotes) Our senses are woefully limited. Our brains are but tiny candles flickering in an infinity of darkness. Our only wisdom is to admit that we cannot understand, and since we cannot understand we must do the best we can with faith. which is our only talent.

And the greater the fear of death, the greater the struggle to keep on living  (The Great Quotes) I believe education is the great equalizer. Our children are our hope for the future, so we have an obligation to provide them with the tools to succeed. There is no more powerful tool than knowledge  (The Great Quotes) As we live our human lives, let us be like the water. Let us be conscious of the flow. Let us not forget the great ground of being that draws us on through life. Let us live in a knowing hope, aware that all being is in transition, that all movement is back to the source.

Let us grow in compassion for all beings, for they share our journey  (The Great Quotes) Language allows us to reach out to people, to touch them with our innermost fears, hopes, disappointments, victories.

I’m interested in sustainable agriculture, environmental issues, human rights, and my interconnectedness in the web of life.

This is true among nations as well as among individuals  (The Great Quotes)
