“ Nokia manufactures now sixteen phones a second, which translate into 1,000,000 phones a day. There’s nearly 3 billions phones out there and in the US only 400,000 phones are discarded everyday. We know that half of the population or half of the globe will be connected in the next five to ten years (The UN has established a goal that 1/2 the world have access to telecommunications by 2015) and that 75 percent of the globe is within network coverage. We also know that one in five people is illiterate and that 3 billion people live under $2.00 a day.

“ I hear spiritual leaders mourn the increasing absence of people who worship in churches. Where are they? After a week spent in long commutes to work with machines inside offices or industrial buildings, they are hiking the hills, surfing and playing on beaches, riding boats, or enjoying gardens, parks, and museums in search of a connection to the goodness of God. They are outside gazing, tasting, smelling, and touching the beauty of creation, and the Earth is their sanctuary.

“ I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn’t resolve. But I was outside the Bagdad Theater in Portland one night when I saw a man playing the saxophone. I stood there for fifteen minutes, and he never opened his eyes. After that I liked jazz music. Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.
— Don Miller, Blue Like Jazz
