A Poem from William Wordsworth

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come.

Human Rights Video #2: Don’t Discriminate

One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled. The lack of peace in certain regions is proof positive that these principles are actually valid and needed, more than ever.

This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights. Hence this post and the request you share these posts so more people are aware of and insist upon their rights so that we can live in a peaceful society.

Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!

Do you know it is a fundamental right of yours to have your own opinion? You would not think so from the way some people (including the government) try to belittle you for disagreeing with them but it is.

Two Paths

Two Paths

It does take courage, independence, a level of curiosity and logical thinking for most people to follow the path less travelled.

Why Climb Mt Everest?

Mt Everest

People ask me, “What is the use of climbing Mount Everest?” and my answer must at once be, “It is of no use. There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh, we may learn a little about the behaviour of the human body at high altitudes, and possibly medical men may turn our observation to some account for the purposes of aviation. But otherwise nothing will come of it. We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron…”

If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won’t see why we go. What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to live. That is what life means and what life is for. – George Mallory

Can Loans Tied To Soil Health Save Agriculture? A New $250 Million Fund Wants To Find Out.

Will Harris and Robyn O'Brien

America’s soil health is in dire straits and a new investment fund, rePlant Capital, has been formed to help clove the crisis with capitalism by tying interest rates for farm loans to improvements in soil’s carbon and water storage as a way to save farmers from the disastrous impacts of climate change.

A third of the country’s topsoil has eroded in the past 50 years, part of a warning from the United Nations in 2015 that predicts soil degradation will be one of the central threats to human health in the coming decades. Farmers are seeking to regenerate soil after decades of misuse from chemical fertilizers and herbicides, but transitioning to less harsh farming practices is costly, and nature cannot solve the problem according to human timeline, requiring 500 years or more to create an inch of fresh topsoil under natural conditions.

The Best Part Of Life

The Best Part Of Life

If you know someone who is down, remind them of this. Every day is an opportunity to make a new beginning. To Start over. To write a new chapter in your autobiography. You don’t need to die, be born again and wait until you reach adulthood to travel a new path, you can do it right from where you are. The pivotal theing is to make the decision to do so. Remember, your intention is cause. What you realistically set your mind to accomplish, you can achieve. And if you can’t see a way clear, sometimes all you need to do is describe the problem to someone else. In doing so the fog lifts and you see a path forward. I am happy to be that someone else for you if you need me to. Just call me.
