The Heart of Jesus is an open Heart… It is a school of Jesus where you come to learn and to know the Heart of Jesus—where the teachers are His Mother and He. What have we to learn? To be meek and humble; if we are meek and humble we will learn to pray. If we learn to pray we will belong to Jesus. If we belong to Jesus we will learn to believe and if we believe we will learn to love and if we love we will learn to serve. — - Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (via imaginesisters)

A modern day psalm …
Josh Garrels - Words Remain
Heaven and the earth will pass away But your words all remain
And my hands are growing old And weary with pain Still I fold them to pray
To the one unchanged Yesterday and today Oh YHWH I will try to stay awake Take my last breath of faith As I wait for you to come
Take me beyond This land undone Over the flood By your word, spirit, and blood
It was prophesied long ago Every word set in stone
Not one will pass away Or walk alone All that I own
Does not compare To the love that we share Please remember me
When the hour arrives And you must decide If you’ll wait for me to come
Take you beyond This land undone Over the flood By my word, spirit, and blood

“James is a bicycle lover, historian, and collector, and I can almost guarantee no one has ever taken you on quick chronology of bikes with the admiration and respect that he will. By the time he’s done talking about bikes, you’ll want to go hug yours, then the person who made it, then the person who’s riding down the street on its cousin.” (via The Daily Bike: The Spokesman Is Amazing) Beautiful. A lover of bikes, indeed.
I’m not sure there’s any number of Facebook likes that can replace a hug. — Seth Godin
Live life with abandon … make others happy … see the beauty.

True of science, and almost everything else we do.
Our worthiness to possess freedom corresponds to our willingness to fight for it.
To the men and women in red, white, and blue…thank you.

Printable A3-sized solar cells hit a new milestone in green energy
Imagine a future where solar panels speed off the presses, like newspaper. Australian scientists have brought us one step closer to that reality. Researchers from the Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium (VICOSC) have developed a printer that can print 10 meters of flexible solar cells a minute. Unlike traditional silicon solar cells, printed solar cells are made using organic semi-conducting polymers, which can be dissolved in a solvent and used like an ink, allowing solar cells to be printed. Not only can the VICOSC machine print flexible A3 solar cells, the machine can print directly on to steel, opening up the possibility for solar cells to be embedded directly into building materials. “Eventually we see these being laminated to windows that line skyscrapers,” said David Jones, a researcher at University of Melbourne who is involved with the work. “By printing directly to materials like steel, we’ll also be able to embed cells onto roofing materials.” Printing 10 meters of solar cells in a minute means good things for solar.

When you are drawing your weapon for the purposes of clearing a room, a SEAL will tell you, “slow is smooth; smooth is fast.” In other words, if you try to draw your weapon too quickly, chances are, in your attempt to be fast, you’ll fumble or drop or mishandle the thing your very life depends on. But if you can focus on slow, deliberate movements, then your smoothness will translate to getting the job done faster and safer.
Now I have absolutely no occasion to draw a weapon. None whatsoever. But, here’s where this SEAL-ism hits home for me. I can tend to think that frenetic and frenzied and crazy-brained is how I must live to keep up with this world, technology, my schedule, others’ expectations of me, etc. What if approaching life with deliberate calm, a sense of intention, and measured movements would, in the end, yield greater productivity and efficiency?
—A good lesson.
