“The Great Spirit made hands before he made
eyes or feet, so people could learn to hold
one another. Hands were useful for touching
the hard ribs of trees or the soft tongues of flower petals.
Hands discovered the dry uncertainty of snakes, the
slipperiness of fish, the mystery of feathers. Hands found
Other hands and clasped together to embrace the oncoming world,
unafraid. Two pairs of hands, burned by fire and cooled
by water, felt their way along unfamiliar paths and then
reached out and found they needed one another
to make a home in the wilderness of their minds.”
-Nancy Wood
“There is an intelligent revolt which is not reaction, and which comes with self-knowledge through the awareness of one’s own thought and feeling. It is only when we face experience as it comes and do not avoid disturbance that we keep intelligence highly awakened; and intelligence highly awakened is intuition, which is the only true guide in life.”
-J. Krishnamurti
“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. But then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.”

“Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshipping.”
~ Hubert Reeves
“Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”
George Orwell
“Do not chase another human being. Instead, chase your curiosity. Chase your development and your goals. Chase your passion. Strive to work for something bigger than yourself, and instead of trying to convince someone that you fit within their world, strive to build your own.”
Bianca Sparacino
If It Is To Be,
It Is Up To Me.
“Give the ones you love wings to fly,
roots to come back
and reasons to stay.”
– Dalai Lama XIV
