Igatpuri, India, Nov 2007
The bacteria in our intestines are very similar to the bacteria in the external world. It turns out that bacteria not only are responsible for digesting our food and all the debris of the world, they also play key roles in the functioning of our immune systems and global warming. Dr. Eoin Brodie explains the relationship between the bacteria in our intestines and our environment. And since our digestion and elimination is so intimately connected with our environment, Mr. Jeff Conant tells us about ecological toilets.
Is it because
I live
in a world of cement,
that my muscles behave like rocks?
Is it because
success
involves the grind of steel gears,
that my will stands like an iron pillar?
If I walked
on the soft earth
with my bare feet,
would my body dance
like the waves upon the rocks?
If success
was as delicate
as a lotus on a pond,
would my will
have the grace and depth
of the great ocean before me?
