Thought for the day - week- month...

by Charles Eckroth (Login ToughOldBird)

"The astronauts who took the famous pictures talked about how they felt seeing all of the earth at one time, and how beautiful it was, how small and alone it appeared in the vast void of space. If all mankind could see what those men saw, the planet that had given man and all other creatures birth, if he could see at a glance the ugliness he was responsible for, if there was some way he could see the pollution of the oceans, rivers and lakes, the swirling atmosphere around it, the mountains of garbage he has placed upon it - if this cosmic view could be extended to the point where he would realize his survival was at stake, he might be willing to do something about it."

Sigurd Olson in "Reflections from the North Country", chapter titled Harmony
