Some thoughts on Ecology...

"We cannot segregate the human heart from the environment outside us and say that once one is reformed everything will be improved. Man is organic and with the world. His inner life moulds the environment and is itself deeply affected by it. The one acts upon the other and every abiding change in the life of man is the result of these mutual reactions." 
- Shoghi Effendi, letter to an individual Baha'i dated 17 February 1933


I found it in this document: Conservation and Sustainable Development in the Baha'i Faith

Mister Newton-Howard, kind sir.

I have never been a fan of horror/thrillers. Perhaps it was the soundtrack of The Village that influenced me to hold an appreciation for the film... Another fine example of James Newton Howard's brilliance.

Winter break

It seems I am destined to spend the duration of my winter break at home.
So my plans for the soon-to-be-commencing time off:
- finish my room (I've been 'redoing' so to speak)
- acquire a new macbook, as mine is seeing its last days
- develop the films that have been gathering dust on my shelf
- READ READ READ
- actually attend hockey training
- spend time at the piano, have a chat, get reacquainted, play a bit etc

...I'm sure I can come up with some more things when the time comes..

Please acknowledge that I am sitting here planning my holiday whilst my 8,000 words that are due in the next few days remain unwritten. Cheers.
