The pine-tree drops its dead; They are quiet, as under the sea. Overhead, overhead Rushes life in a race, As the clouds the clouds chase; And we go, And we drop like the fruits of the tree, Even we, Even so. 00:24:20 - A Parting Guest What delightful hosts are they -- Life and Love!Lingeringly I turn away, This late hour, yet glad enough They have not withheld from me Their high hospitality. So, with face lit with delight And all gratitude, I stay Yet to press their hands and say, "Thanks. -- So fine a time! Good night." By James Whitcomb Riley 00:25:14 - Nature Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1807 –1882 As a fond mother, when the day is o'er, Leads by the hand her little child to bed, Half willing, half reluctant to be led, And leave his broken playthings on the floor, Still gazing at them through the open door, Nor wholly reassured and comforted By promises of others in their stead, Which, though more splendid, may not please him more; So Nature deals with us, and takes away Our playthings one by one, and by the hand Leads us to rest so gently, that we goScarce knowing if we wish to go or stay, Being too full of sleep to understand How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

GEOFFREY CHAUCER, REFURBISHED: A parody of the General Prologue from “The Canterbury Tales.” Trafalgar Square on a Summer Evening. London. (link). First published on MuddyUm. https://medium.com/muddyum/yanks-on-holiday-fc8c64b684f1?sk=14e829da992877e8e1c7ffe05f3f8aa2 Here bygynneth the book ō̆ver behōste tō the world Here begins the book Overland to the World When in June and the spring showers end — And disperse the rains to the heavens, and send The pigeons to peck the crumbs at Trafalgar — And prompt the public to thumb the vernacular; When Admiral Nelson, with his commanding physique — Choking from exhaust fumes and pathogens discreet — Gazes upon his Square, teeming with tourists, His glories known only to the purest; When Londoners are all cell-a-Tweetin' — Who text away with fingers a' bleedin', (So Nature's a stage where Shadows do play) — Then the Yankees partake a holiday. A fortnight feast of the ripe, old Country — Tales uncoiling with bathos, and ribaldry; From England ‘cross the Continent to Rome — To snap a pic of Saint Pete's to text home; Through a coach window they'll take The Grand Tour, To tick off the sites, gleaned from a brochure. This is the opening prologue for my parody-mock-satirical novel, Overland to the World, a collection of interrelated tales about Americans on a European coach holiday, which has been published in serialised form on Medium. As a pretentious and affected Anglophile, I purposely used the “s” instead of the “z.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/walter-t-bowne/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/walter-t-bowne/support

Why Should We Care About Nature? Our Scriptures teach us that we are One with all of Creation – one with the Creator and one with Creation. So, when trees are cut and rivers are polluted - they are part of us. And, those living in the shade of those trees, and along the banks of those rivers - they are also us. So Nature is Us! So of course we must care about it and take care of it! In this inspiring teaching, Pujya Sadhviji shares with us that - once we remember the Truth of who we are - it's only natural for us to recognize the Sacred Spirit that flows through all of us...and, to treat each other and each thing with the reverence that is so richly deserved!

Nature. As a fond mother, when the day is o'er, Leads by the hand her little child to bed, Half willing, half reluctant to be led, And leave his broken playthings on the floor, Still gazing at them through the open door, Nor wholly reassured and comforted By promises of others in their stead, Which, though more splendid, may not please him more,-- So Nature deals with us, and takes away Our playthings one by one, and by the hand Leads us to rest so gently, that we go Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay, Being too full of sleep to understand How far the unknown transcends the what we know. H.W. LONGFELLOW.

Welcome to Episode 36 of Tame, the podcast where we discuss quotes from Marcus Aurelius' 'Meditations' and how we can apply the lessons and logic from the book to our own lives to be stronger, kinder and better people. Today we're discussing the following three quotes:   "Ignoring what goes on in other people’s souls—no one ever came to grief that way. But if you won’t keep track of what your own soul’s doing, how can you not be unhappy?" Book 2, Chapter 8 "It was for the best. So Nature had no choice but to do it." Book 4, Chapter 9 "Love the discipline you know, and let it support you. Entrust everything willingly to the gods, and then make your way through life—no one’s master and no one’s slave." Book 4, Chapter 31   We hope you enjoy our podcast and encourage you to join the conversation by leaving comments, getting in touch on social media and sharing this with people you think would benefit from hearing it!

Today if we look at all the global problems, we can trace root almost all of them to the problem in the ecological equilibrium of the planet. On one hand, in our quest for economic growth we've started intervening to the natural ecology and started ruining it, while on the other hand, in our attempt to make life more comfortable and add to our ease of living, we've adopted unsustainable ways of living that are not in harmony with natural processes. Looking at the ease of living, what we've started doing is extensive use of chemicals and plastics, vertical living, massive use of fossil fuels – all creating WASTE. Now it's only human being who generate Waste on this planet, rest all the birds, plants, bees and animals are living in absolute harmony with Nature with absolutely no concept of Waste. So Nature doesn't have any concept of Waste. Even the excreta of one organism is useful to the other species, that's the way Nature has linked the ecology. Birds excreta is direct food for fishes, and in turn fishes excreta is required by the plants to grow, which are in turn needed by birds for their nests. Thus the ecology keeps going on and on in such cycles. Whatever goes out eventually comes back - That's ecology. Ayurved is an ancient Vedic Science of medicine that is very ecological in its core philosophy. Ayurved is based on an understanding that the life on the planet is because of five (5) key elements of life that are the building blocks of all life on the planet. These key elements are – Fire, Water, Soil, Air and Cosmic Energy. Now these five (5) in three (3) different permutations create the three basic factors of Pitta (P), Kapha (K) and Vata (V), the balance of which creates an equilibrium in life and keeps us healthy and disease free. Corollary of this fact can be derived as, any imbalance of these three factors (PKV) will create a disease and make us unhealthy. The whole science of Ayurved is to create a balance between these three factors. Now if we delve deeper in this philosophy, the five (5) factors can be divided in to two (2) categories – Energy and Ecology. Cownomics is the ONLY technology for Ecological Rejuvenation of Water, Soil and Air, using this Vedic science, without any machines, or chemicals or biological invasive species.
