The way anything is developed is through practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and more practice.
Practice Way
It was hard to become an astronaut. not anywhere near as much physical training as people imagine, but a lot of mental training, a lot of learning. you have to learn everything there is to know about the space shuttle and everything you are going to be doing, and everything you need to know if something goes wrong, and then once you have learned it all, you have to practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice until everything is second nature, so it's a very, very difficult training, and it takes years.
Years Practice Space
Who creates a thing is not as important as what the thing is. who created baseball? who created basketball? who created the space program? who created - we could go on and on. we could argue about who created something. we all are participants in it.

'worship' is the term we use to cover all the acts of the heart and mind and body that intentionally express the infinite worth of god. this is what we were created for, as god says in isaiah 43:7, everyone who is called by my name, and whom i have created for my glory. that means that we were all created for the purpose of expressing the infinite worth of god's glory. we were created to worship.

Our duties naturally emerge form such fundamental relations as our families, neighborhoods, workplaces, our state or nation. make it your regular habit to consider your roles-parent, child, neighbor, citizen, leader-and the natural duties that arise from them. once you know who you are and to whom you are linked, you will know what to do.

The mathematical is that evident aspect of things within which we are always already moving and according to which we experience them as things at all, and as such things. the mathematical is this fundamental position we take toward things by which we take up things as already given to us, and as they must and should be given. therefore, the mathematical is the fundamental presupposition of the knowledge of things.

The best fragrance is the scent of water, the fragrance of dew and rain falling on plants. water is the essential element, a source of life and energy. a perfume that, like a garment, moves to suit the woman, her skin. a perfume that embraces a woman.

We are turning everything on this planet into food for humans. we'll eat it and, if we can't eat it, we'll kill it and take its place and just move it out of the way.

When i need to take a side, i write a newspaper article and i tell my government, "you should not do that, you should do this." they don't listen to me, but i've been doing this for sixty years now. but, when i write a novel, i am not in that business. i follow the way people change. i follow the way people, who are very antagonized to one another become very close to one another and vice-versa. sometimes i follow the way people who are intimately close to each other move apart.
