“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love." – Martin Luther King, Jr.

The world has always been held together by a very few people at any given time. Love has never been a popular movement, only a powerful one. We can all become better than we are, but the price can be higher than we can imagine. – James Baldwin.

Never hesitate to talk back to God when she pisses you off. – Mirabai Starr

Where do the wars, the capitalist corporate aggression, and greed beyond words all come from? They all come from the uncontrolled mind that dominates our speech, our thinking, and our actions. If we multiply that by seven billion we can see where the problem lies. We cannot just blame the politicians; we have to look closer... [When we do we find] ignorance. Especially the ignorance of believing our own ideas are the truth:[We tell ourselves constantly] What I think must be right, because that is what I think. – Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo (whose birthday is at the end of this month), from The Heroic Heart, Shambhala, 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenzin_Palmo

Gratefulness is not a feeling; it’s a practice. Changing your mind can take a while.

Healing

… the wounds to the soul take a long, long time

and patience, and a certain difficult repentance

… from the endless repetition of the mistake

which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify.

— D.H Lawrence, “Healing,” Last Poems, Viking Press.1933 (this book is out of print).
