“Some people think that our planet is suffering from a fever. Now scientists are telling us that Mars is experiencing its own planetary warming: Martian warming.

“So if waiting is an aggravation, it is at least partly because we do not like being reminded of our limits. We like doing -- earning, buying, selling, building, planting, driving, baking -- making things happen, whereas waiting is essentially a matter of being -- stopping, sitting, listening, looking, breathing, wondering, praying. It can feel pretty helpless to wait for someone or something that is not here yet and that will or will not arrive in its own good time, which is not the same thing as our own good time.” IfsFeelsMatterHappensWaitingWonderBuildingListeningPrayingLimitsSittingDrivingThings HappenSellingBreathingBuyingGood TimesHelplessEarningStoppingBakingAggravation Book:Gospel Medicine Source: Gospel Medicine

“Latin, as we all know, ultimately broke down into Spanish, Italian, French, and so on. One wonders whether there will be an imperial parallel with English breaking down into, shall we say, North American, European, Australian, and so on. On the other hand, there is this immense, inward-driving influence of radio and television that is bringing us all back together. One could say it's a fight between the two: a fight between regionalism and the standardization through communication.” KnowsTwoHandsTogetherFightingWonderInfluenceTelevisionCommunicationRadioDrivingBrokeLatinItalianImmenseInwardBreaking DownParallelsAustralianBack TogetherStandardizationRegionalism Author:William Golding
