“The human venture depends absolutely on this quality of awe and reverence and joy in the Earth and all that lives and grows upon the Earth.

None of our machine-made products, none of our computer-based achievements can evoke that total commitment to life.” HumansMadeEarthJoyGrowsQualityGrowing UpProductsDependsAchievementComputerCommitmentMachinesProfoundCurrentsSatisfactionMoodAweReverenceVentureEvoke Book:The Great Work: Our Way into the Future Source: The Great Work: Our Way into the Future

“Your life is like a book. The title page is your name, the preface your introductions to the world. The pages are a daily record of your efforts, trials, pleasures, discouragements, and achievements. Day by day your thoughts and acts are being inscribed in your book of life.

“The pre-scientific age, whatever its deficiencies, had at least offered its members the peace of mind that follows from knowing all man-made achievements to be nothing next to the grandeur of the universe.
