A reminder to use your human imagination in ways that create something greater rather than diminishing yourself. #existential

Cellulose, the main component of paper, can be turned into clear, waterproof objects such as cups that are almost indistinguishable from plastic, but break down more quickly

'While...Gautama, was a king's son who voluntarily became a pauper, the founder of Christianity was a carpenter who left his house and his kin, and lived as "the birds of heaven"....The life of these two teachers was passed, not in temples, not in academies, but among the poor' (Peter Kropotkin) ☦️☸️

Live in line with your conscience. #existential

An interview well worth witnessing! #existential

You cannot carry the burdens of the world. Each of us has to create peace in our own circle in order to bring the change we seek. #existential

Magical morning. Make the most of this beautiful day. #existential
