Every one of us can make a contribution. and quite often we are looking for the big things and forget that, wherever we are, we can make a contribution. sometimes i tell myself, i may only be planting a tree here, but just imagine what's happening if there are billions of people out there doing something. just imagine the power of what we can do.

More From Wangari Maathai

I never said it. honest. oh, i said there are maybe 100 billion galaxies and 10 billion trillion stars. it's hard to talk about the cosmos without using big numbers. i said "billion" many times on the cosmos television series, which was seen by a great many people. but i never said "billions and billions." for one thing, it's too imprecise. how many billions are "billions and billions"? a few billion? twenty billion? a hundred billion? "billions and billions" is pretty vague. when we reconfigured and updated the series, i checked-and sure enough, i never said it.
Stars Numbers People
Christians, of all people, should not be destroyers. we should treat nature with an overwhelming respect. we may cut down a tree to build a house, or to make a fire to keep the family warm. but we should not cut down the tree just to cut down the tree. we may, if necessary, bark the cork tree in order to have the use of the bark. but what we should not do is to bark the tree simply for the sake of doing so, and let it dry and stand there a dead skeleton in the wind. to do so is not to treat the tree with integrity.
Christian Integrity Cutting
Listen my love, illumination is eternal. now is always evolving. as there are billions of stars, there are billions of steps. as there are billions of souls, there are billions of ways to grow.

Heidi cullen had said that all of these local and cable weather forecasters who have been certified by the ams, the american meteorological society, should be decertified if they refuse to accept the proven science of man-made global warming. there are numerous credible scientists, who have not been convinced that this is anything other than sunspot activity or normal cycles that the earth has gone through for billions and billions and billions and billions of years. science can't prove man-made global warming, they simply can't, so they come up with this notion of consensus.
Earth Global Warming Scientist
Wherever snow falls, or water flows, or birds fly, wherever day and night meet in twilight, wherever the blue heaven is hung by clouds, or sown with stars, wherever are forms with transparent boundaries, wherever are outlets into celestial space, wherever is danger, and awe, and love, there is beauty, plenteous as rain, shed for thee, and though thou shouldest walk the world over, thou shalt not be able to find a condition inopportune or ignoble.
Beauty Stars Rain
Sometimes i come across a tree which seems like buddha or jesus: loving, compassionate, still, unambitious, enlightened, in eternal meditation, giving pleasure to a pilgrim, shade to a cow, berries to a bird, beauty to its surroundings, health to its neighbors, branches for the fire, leaves for the soil, asking nothing in return, in total harmony with the wind and the rain. how much can i learn from a tree? the tree is my church, the tree is my temple, the tree is my mantra, the tree is my poem and my prayer.
Love Beauty Beautiful
