Seen

Patch of common three-seeded mercury (Acalypha rhomboidea) previously mentioned in my “Daily Log” post for 29 July 2022. According to Wikipedia birds like the mourning dove and greater prairie chicken regard its seeds as a favorable food source. Haven’t seen any of them before. Maybe this stand will attract them ;-)

FYI, the bittersweet nightshade is gone…

Done

Worked on the introductory set of slides to “World Conference Design” presentation — with MANY thanks to colleague Christine Muller for her constructive feedback! Here’s a screenshot of progress thus far:

Quoted

The unity which is productive of unlimited results is first a unity of mankind which recognizes that all are sheltered beneath the overshadowing glory of the All-Glorious, that all are servants of one God; for all breathe the same atmosphere, live upon the same earth, move beneath the same heavens, receive effulgence from the same sun and are under the protection of one God. This is the most great unity, and its results are lasting if humanity adheres to it; but mankind has hitherto violated it, adhering to sectarian or other limited unities such as racial, patriotic or unity of self-interests; therefore, no great results have been forthcoming. Nevertheless, it is certain that the radiance and favors of God are encompassing, minds have developed, perceptions have become acute, sciences and arts are widespread, and capacity exists for the proclamation and promulgation of the real and ultimate unity of mankind, which will bring forth marvelous results. It will reconcile all religions, make warring nations loving, cause hostile kings to become friendly and bring peace and happiness to the human world. It will cement together the Orient and Occident, remove forever the foundations of war and upraise the ensign of the Most Great Peace. These limited unities are, therefore, signs of that great unity which will make all the human family one by being productive of the attractions of conscience in mankind. 1
