Law of what?

[Eric Lilius]

I like the grounded sense of a "Law of Two Feet". As a two
legged it works for me. I don't feel the same heightened
sense of responsibility and permission when I call it "The
Law of Mobility".

Thanks for the Donella Meadows Archive  on your website.

To live in this world
You must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it against your bones
knowing your own life depends upon it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.
                        Mary Oliver
