Random quote of the day:

Random quote of the day:

 

“The spirit [is] the pattern of information of which we are made—our genes, proteins, memories, and personalities. In this sense, spirituality is the quest to know the place of our spirit within the deep time of evolution and the deep space of the cosmos. Although there are many paths to spirituality, I believe that science gives us the deepest possible sense of grandeur and wonder about our place in time and space.”

Random quote of the day:

"If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children I should ask her to gift each child in the world with a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against boredom and the disenchantments of later years, the sterile preoccupation with things that are artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength."

—Rachel Carson
