Significant Events That Change Us

"Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives."

- Frederick F. Flack

What You Do Affects More Than You Can Imagine

"The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt."

- Frederick Buechner

"...the trash's origin means little at cleanup time..."

What Are you Busy About?

"It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: what are we busy about?"

- Henry David Thoreau
