(1)I climbed the heights above Yosemite Valley, California in order to see the
splendid granite mountain, Half Dome, in its fullest view. Approaching the edge
through the woods I was filled with heightened expectation. I saw the ruin of a
cabin and my approach caused the alignment of the chimney on this side of the valley
with the shorn mountain across the valley. I stopped. Something happened. The stone
verticals corresponded, one human-shaped, the other natural. The human site was
still engaged in sightseeing. I was on its side. I saw the famous sight through
the eyes of the ruin. I had come expecting beauty; I discovered an unexpected
dimension to the beauty of the scene.
(2 ) The international community should conscientiously sum up the lessons of

economic development. This should be conducted on the basis of full consultation
among all parties concerned, by grasping the direction for building a new
international financial order which is fair, just, inclusive, and orderly, and by
upholding the principle of being comprehensive, balanced, and progressive and
striving for substantial results.
