“Today the network of relationships linking the human race to itself and to the rest of the biosphere is so complex that all aspects affect all others to an extraordinary degree. Someone should be studying the whole system, however crudely that has to be done, because no gluing together of partial studies of a complex nonlinear system can give a good idea of the behavior of the whole.” GivingShouldHumansIdeasDoneWholeTodayTogetherRaceKnowledgeStudyDegreesBehaviorAspectGardenComplexesExtraordinaryHuman RaceGood IdeasInterconnectionComplex SystemsBiosphereNonlinear Author:Murray Gell-Mann

This is a way to value beer and treat it with respect.” WayGivingFeelsMayMadeEarthValuesCommunityCommonGardenTreatsGlassesFeel GoodBeerOur TimeRitualTidesAcquaintanceParticipantsPubsRationalizeSense Of PlaceNew Acquaintances Author:Michael Jackson

From the Anio, drawn up the hillside at incalculable cost and labour, a thousand rills gush downward, terrace by terrace, channeling the stone rails of the balusters, leaping from step to step, dripping into mossy conches, flashing in spray from the horns of sea-gods and the jaws of mythical monsters, or forcing themselves in irrepressible overflow down the ivy-matted banks.” GivingCharacterWaterStepsSeaCostThousandRainGardenRiversStonesMonstersLabourPeculiarHornsRailIvySprayChannelingOverflowDrippingTerraceIrrepressible Author:Edith Wharton

Death is only an old door In a garden wall.” GivingHeartStillsLightLyingHurtTroubleDoorsFeetWillingWallQuietGardenGreenWearyDuskHingesGreen Leaves Author:Nancy Byrd Turner
