And this, our life, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.
William Shakespeare
Chris Hadfield Commander of ISS:
Good Morning, World, and Happy Earth Day from orbit! One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.
It reminds me a famous poem from Saadi :
Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.
If you have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain.
In proportion, our atmosphere is no thicker than the varnish on a globe. Deceptively fragile. Chris Hadfield
And now a touch of our beautiful but fragile planet
