Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. No one way will work. It will take all of us shoving at this destructive insanity from all sides to bring it down. – Rob Brezsney, “This is Real.” Note to readers: this piece from Rob is a harsh read, outside his usual frame.

And the contents of this can be anything. – cutting carrots, stubbing toe, sweeping floor, drinking coffee – anything. – Zen master Charlotte Joko Beck

Even in the darkest of this dark age, there is always light. That light comes with a smile, the smile of warriorship, the smile of fearlessness, the smile of realizing the best of the best of human potential. – Chögyam Trungpa, The Great Eastern Sun, Shambhala. 2001.
