“By suggestion and example, I believe children can be helped to hear the many voices about them. Take Time to listen and talk about the voices of the earth and what they mean-the majestic voice of thunder, the winds, the sound of surf or flowing streams.” BelieveMeanChildrenEarthI BelieveSoundVoiceExampleWindStreamsTake TimeSuggestionsThunderSurfMajestic Book:The Sense of Wonder Source: The Sense of Wonder
“Variable but forecastable renewables (wind and solar cells) are very reliable when integrated with each other, existing supplies and demand. For example, three German states were more than 30 percent wind-powered in 2007 - and more than 100 percent in some months. Mostly renewable power generally needs less backup than utilities already bought to combat big coal and nuclear plants' intermittence.” NeedsStatesBigsThreeExampleWindMonthsDemandPercentPlantNuclearCellsCombatCoalUtilityIntegratedSuppliesVariablesBackupSupply And DemandNuclear PlantsSolar Cells Author:Amory Lovins

“Some police forces would believe anything. Not the Metropolitan police, though. The Met was the hardest, most cynically pragmatic, most stubbornly down-to-earth police force in Britain. It would take a lot to faze a copper from the Met. It would take, for example, a huge, battered car that was nothing more nor less than a fireball, a blazing, roaring, twisted metal lemon from Hell, driven by a grinning lunatic in sunglasses, sitting amid the flames, trailing thick black smoke, coming straight at them through the lashing rain and wind at eighty miles an hour.That would do it every time.” BelieveEarthForceBlackHoursHellCarExampleWindHugeMetsSittingRainPoliceDrivenMilesHardestSmokeFlamesBritainMetalsThickTwistedEightyLunaticLemonsPragmaticDown To EarthRoaringBlazingSunglassesGrinningBatteredCopperPolice ForceMetropolitan Author:Terry Pratchett

“If you look at the life of Jesus, that's an example of true worship. You know look at the stories, if you want to learn about real worship read Matthew through John. Seriously. You just read it and you will see the true level. You see when Jesus is in the boat and the storm comes when it comes and the winds are blowing and Jesus is sleeping in the boat and the disciples are freaking out. And Jesus wakes up and says "What you guys got is a problem, no?" and he commands the seas to be calm that's true worship.” IfsKnowsWantLooksRealStoriesProblemGuyJesusSleepLevelsSeaExampleWindWorshipWake UpCalmStormCommandBoatDiscipleMatthewSleeping InTrue WorshipFreaking OutWorship YouReal Worship Author:Brian Johnson
“In the Ramtops village where they dance the real Morris dance, for example, they believe that no-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away - until the clock he wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone's life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence.” WorldBelieveMadeRealDiesCausesExistenceExampleWindWineFinishedWoundsCoreClockVillageCropsRippleMorris Author:Terry Pratchett
