The Wilderness

“What sets the wilderness apart in the modern way is not that it is dangerous (it’s almost certainly safer than any town or road) or that it’s solitary (you can, so they say, be alone in a crowded room) or full of exotic animals (there are more in the zoo).  It’s that five miles out in the woods you can’t buy anything.”

Bill McKibben

Ecologist b 1960

The Happiness of Another

“Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”

ROOT OF ALL EVIL

“For the love of money is the root of all evil; and while some have coveted after it, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But as for you, O man of God, flee from all these things; aim at and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness and gentleness of heart."

1Timothy 6:10-11
