| cathy | 12/15/04 06:09 pm | I thought of how important each nest, bird and person is when I read this. From: Thoughts1@nilgiri.org Subject: [Thoughts1] Thought for the Day Date: December 15, 2004 1:10:00 AM PST To: thoughts1@nilgiri.org Reply-To: Thoughts1@nilgiri.org A Thought for the Day From Sri Eknath Easwaran ---------------------------------------------- All things by immortal power Near or far, Hiddenly To each other linked are, That thou canst not stir a flower Without troubling of a star. - Francis Thompson The science of ecology teaches us that everything in the universe is connected. We cannot separate ourselves from the consequences of even the least of our actions: whatever we do here comes back there. This is the law of the unity of life. Like gravity or any other law of nature, you cannot break it; you can only break yourself against it. If you throw a bottle into the air, it will return to earth and shatter. Similarly, if you act in a way that violates the unity of life -- polluting the atmosphere, wasting precious resources, ignoring the needs of others -- you will find your health, your peace of mind, and your happiness destroyed. We are not separate fragments. Like all the animals and plants, we depend on each other and on the environment. During the next few decades, I believe, scientists will be instrumental in showing us the connections between our daily lives and the environment, in helping us find noninvasive, nonpolluting alternative energy sources, and in exploring and defending the world's great resources. Today we need good science more than ever. Yet we must exercise extreme vigilance; for though science is a useful servant, it is a terrible master. |

| Celeste | 12/16/04 05:34 am | Most definitely....Thanks Cathy. |
| karen | 12/16/04 12:44 pm | My hopes are that science will save us but sometimes it looks bleak .... as fast as studies come out the environment changes even faster and the economic forces in the world continue to refuse to changes ... but with all of us trying every day maybe we will persevere! |
