The daily quote from The Love Foundation by Harold W. Becker
Why we should all honor Bucky Fuller for the contributions he made.
Richard Buckminster Fuller “Bucky” was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor, philosopher, critic of work, and futurist. Bucky had one of the most fascinating and original minds of his century. Born in 1895 in Milton, Massachusetts, he was the latest – if not the last – of the New England Transcendentalists. Bucky took an unconventional path and was inspired to find a way use natural resources more efficiently to ensure there would be enough to take care of everyone, which is why we created an EARTHism specifically for him!
Take a moment to reflect on how EARTHism for honoring Bucky Fuller makes you feel.
Journal and Meditation Prompt
As you reflect on this EARTHism, and sit in the quiet, notice how it feels to send love and appreciation to the Planet. Make a note of any thoughts, words, or phrases that come to mind as you think about it, and reflect upon the impact you can make on the world by following it. Now challenge yourself to think of some things you can personally do, in your home, neighborhood or community to love, honor, and protect Spaceship Earth. Enjoy the feeling of peace you feel, after taking the time to love,
honor, and cherish our precious Planet. Make a pact with yourself to find gratitude and joy along life’s crooked path and to bless, honor, and cherish the Earth every day.
