random notes
don't have much time, so let me summarize...
1. i'll incorporate it as a non-profit...
2. clam chowder cook offs february 23rd!
who wants some chowder?
3. Early Earth Day post:"I want every restaurant to be a green restaurant, and every individual
to be a green individual (and that does not mean "I recycle"). Stop and
think for a moment -- at the bottom of everything, the Earth sustains
us. The computer you are sitting at right now was made of materials
from the Earth. The water you drink and swim in, the air you breathe
(and pollute), the clothes you wear -- everything is given to us by the
Earth. Even the currency we exchange to "buy" goods and services is
printed on materials from the Earth.
Most cultures deal with that "giving" with gratitude -- they ascribe it
to God, and go to churches and temples to thank the creator. On the
metaphysical level, that is all very well. On the physical level,
however, how many cultures or religions give back to the Earth?
(Jainism is one, but you won't find many others.) What have I, you, we
done recently to help the Earth be healthy? Even if you don't believe
the Earth is a living being, surely you can appreciate the damage done
through pollution and the physical depletion of resources."-Ritu Primlani

i disagree with that. i think lots of cultures give back to the earth on a physical level.
and are you buying?
I tell you what she will do, she will run in the fields catching bunnies and selling them to lonely old ladies with a small fee =)
way to spend none-profit money (per grace's suggestion)
really really? am i qualified to buy a pet bunny from u
or they only come as bunny chowder? LOL
I don't quite follow that long earth-day quotation. But from what I undstand of it: Nice! =)
Anna, when I said "life", I didn't mean living creatures, I meant ocean and sky, they are not living, other universes have things like that with one simple equation perhaps, and that is still amazing.
My point is not to present a theory that "makes me happy", I am already over wondering which one is true because it is more than theory to me, it's a relationship. I hope one day you not only find life behind it, but love behind it.
Anyways, I should have known that this may bring about intellectual debate, it is just a simple sharing with no intend for that.
oh but i see why you brought it up 'cause my title says "who brought life", as if I am proving god, what I am really sharing is the "comprehesible" part... I thought it's just so beautifully amazing... and math is so beautiful =)
yep, all laws created are amazing~
Mmm, i have to admit i didn't read your quote carefully the first time... I was too excited about the bunny part XD. I think it is good to give back to Earth, but I think Earth is destroyed little by little because people don't understand what love and wisdom God has given in his creation... when people focus on self benefits, efficiency, money, greed... trees are cut down, oil burnt, environment becomes more and more hostile. And on the other hand, what good is a good physical environment if the environment of our hearts are filled with waste? I think a truly healthy earth is going to be built by people with a healthy heart, by those who understand the love behind the healthy Earth that was once created in perfection... given to us to take care of... and look what becomes of it now?
It really makes me look back at the last chapter of the Bible, which says earth will be rebuilt to the original state of when it was created. And we will all be a part of it... They called it "New Earth". I know this is not something you believe yet, but thank you for this post, it really gives me another perspective and reminder to take care and treasure the things, not only people, around me
