To wade in marshes and sea margins is the destiny of certain bird, and they are so accurately made for this that they are imprisoned in those places. each animal out of its habitat would starve. to the physician, each man, each woman, is an amplification of one organ. a soldier, a locksmith, a bank-clerk, and a dancer could not exchange functions. and thus we are victims of adaptation.

More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

The lesson for asia is; if you have a central bank, have a floating exchange rate; if you want to have a fixed exchange rate, abolish your central bank and adopt a currency board instead. either extreme; a fixed exchange rate through a currency board, but no central bank, or a central bank plus truly floating exchange rates; either of those is a tenable arrangement. but a pegged exchange rate with a central bank is a recipe for trouble.

The individuals inside are frequently fighting that their individual voices be heard, while the walls of the place, which are the mask, and the perception, are reluctant to give over to the voices of the individuals. those in the margins are always trying to get to the center, and those at the center, frequently in the name of tradition, are trying to keep the margins at a distance. part of the identity of a place is the tension between those in the margins, and those in the center, and they all live behind the walls which wear the tradition.

You cannot begin to preserve any species of animal unless you preserve the habitat in which it dwells. disturb or destroy that habitat and you will exterminate the species as surely as if you had shot it. so conservation means that we have to preserve forest and grassland, river and lake, even the sea itself. this is vital not only for the preservation of animal life generally, but for the future existence of man himself - a point that seems to escape many people.

God wants a love partner, centering on the place where husband and wife become one through their sexual organs, god wants to appear and meet us...i wish you would center on the absolute sexual organ, unique sexual organ, unchanging sexual organ and eternal sexual organ and use this as your foundation to pursue god...we have to realize that the kingdom of god on earth and in heaven will begin on this foundation.

A fish swims in the ocean, and no matter how far it swims there is no end to the water. a bird flies in the sky, and no matter how far it flies there is no end to the air. however the fish and the bird have never left their elements. thus each of them totally covers its full range, and each of them totally experiences its realm... know that water is life and air is life. the bird is life and the fish is life. life must be the bird and life must be the fish... practice, enlightenment and people are like this.

When i have seen by time's fell hand defaced the rich proud cost of outworn buried age; when sometime lofty towers i see down-razed and brass eternal slave to mortal rage; when i have seen the hungry ocean gain advantage on the kingdom of the shore, and the firm soil win of the watery main, increasing store with loss and loss with store; when i have seen such interchange of state, or state itself confounded to decay; ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate, that time will come and take my love away. this thought is as a death which cannot choose but weep to have that which it fears to lose.

A mob is usually a creature of very mysterious existence, particularly in a large city. where it comes from, or whither it goes, few men can tell. assembling and dispersing with equal suddenness, it is as difficult to follow to its various sources as the sea itself; nor does the parallel stop here, for the ocean is not more fickle and uncertain, more terrible when roused, more unreasonable or more cruel.
Ocean Men Sea
There is something that happens when we leave the land and enter the ocean. it's unexpected, the environment feels strangely welcoming. the ocean almost feels like... home.

Exploration is in our nature. we began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. we have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. we are ready at last to set sail for the stars.
