Oldie but goodie. Words on Interdependence. MLK Day in America. January 16th, 2012.


“It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied together into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. We are made to live together because of the interrelated structure of reality . . . Before you finish eating breakfast in the morning, you’ve depended on more than half the world. This is the way our universe is structured, this is its interrelated quality. We aren’t going to have peace on Earth until we recognize the basic fact of the interrelated structure of all reality. “

-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
1967 Christmas Sermon on Peace

    Here's one from Carl Sagan:

    If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.

    Great quote! I added it to the end of my blog post about MLK Jr. Day.

    Inspirational as well. There are practitioners who relied on fruit and self crop vegetable livng in the wild. In fact fruit or self cropping is also creating the universe at first instance.
