Pregnancy Joy Unplanned Pregnancy
Seth laughed when he saw me. “hey,” i said, poking him with my foot, “be nice.” “i think this is the first time i’ve ever seen you look anything less than…” he paused, playing with word choice. “well-planned.” “why, you silver-tongued romantic devil. that is the look i usually go for. other women go for sexy or chic or beautiful. but me? well-planned all the way.” “you know what i mean. besides, unplanned isn’t a bad look for you. not bad at all.” his voice sounded deliciously low and dangerous, and something ignited between us as we held each other’s eyes.

Do not depend on the hope of results. you may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect. as you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. you gradually struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. in the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.

The time has come when we cannot be so careless. unless we do better, we may suffer through a stark emergency of the environment. we may create a hostile world: a world to bruise ourselves against; a world of sprawling cities, unplanned or badly planned; a world whose water is full of sludge, whose winds are full of soot; a world whose landscape has been totally neglected, stripped, marred, and wasted. all of this need not happen if we choose well, and particularly if we plan well and if we act well.

There should be intensive research of all forms of clean energy - sun power, wind power, water power including wave power. in some places thermal energy is available. i stayed on a ranch which, with solar panels and two windmills, provided its own energy.
