Disarm Greed ~ E. F. Schumacher

"How could we even begin to disarm greed and envy? Perhaps by being much less greedy and envious ourselves; perhaps by resisting the temptation of letting our luxuries become needs; and perhaps by even scrutinising our needs to see if they cannot be simplified and reduced."

~ E. F. Schumacher

Fill my Spirit ~ 'Cameron' from Growing Grace Farm

"It’s a cool, rainy  day here–the kind of weather that makes me want to lie on the couch and doze on and off, dreaming of warm, sunny days and veggies growing on the vine.  Sadly, however, the inside of my house beckons me.  She’s a bit jealous that I’ve been spending so much time outside recently.  It’s hard to justify indoor chores when I could be doing a number of outside tasks that fill my spirit."

We Dig ~ Lois Rock

"We think the Earth is ours,
We dig it, drill it, plough it, mine it, pave it bomb it.
Then from within the heart of things, the Earth erupts, it shakes, it quakes, it shifts and drifts.
May we learn to respect the Earth, for it is shaped by forces greater than our own, and we should live in awe of them."

~ Lois Rock
