“I don't want to live a small life. Open your eyes, open your hands. I have just come from the berry fields, the sun
kissing me with its golden mouth all the way (open your hands) and the wind-winged clouds following along thinking perhaps I might
feed them, but no I carry these heart-shapes only to you. Look how many how small but so sweet and maybe the last gift
I will ever bring to anyone in this world of hope and risk, so do.
Look at me. Open your life, open your hands.”

~Mary Oliver

“Have you ever looked at a tree without a single word of like or dislike, without a single image? What then takes place? For the first time, you see the tree as it is and you see the beauty of it, the colour, depth and vitality of it.”

~J. Krishnamurti, The Awakening of Intelligence

“And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.”

~Raymond Carver, “Late Fragment"
from “A New Path to the Waterfall,” 1989

“My work is loving the world.
Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird-equal seekers of sweetness.
Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums.
Here the clam deep in the speckled sand.
Are my boots old? Is my coat torn?
Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect?
Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work,
which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished.
The phoebe, the delphinium.
The sheep in the pasture, and the pasture.
Which is mostly rejoicing, since all the ingredients are here,
which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart and these body-clothes,
a mouth with which to give shouts of joy to the moth and the wren, to the sleepy dug-up clam, telling them all, over and over, how it is that we live forever.”

~Mary Oliver

“For years, every morning, I drank from Blackwater Pond.
It was flavored with oak leaves and also, no doubt,
the feet of ducks.
And always it assuaged me
from the dry bowl of the very far past.

What I want to say is that the past is the past,
and the present is what your life is, and you are capable
of choosing what will be, darling citizen.
So come to the pond, or the river of your imagination, or the harbor of your longing,
and put your lips to the world.
And live your life.”

~Mary Oliver, "Mornings at Blackwater,” from Red Bird: Poems of Mary Oliver.

"There are many different forms of love, but true love is something that transcends doubt, something that is not judgmental, something that is openhearted and accepting. We are not talking about passionate love, sexual love. We are talking about a love of human beings, of the planet—the love of seeing a little flower growing out of the earth at a certain time of the year."

~Tina Turner

“I suppose the story of my life is a search for love, but more than that, I have been looking for a way to repair myself from the damages I suffered early on and to define my obligation, if I had any, to myself and my species.”

~Marlon Brando

"Technological society leads to increasing numbers of people who cannot adapt to the inhuman rhythm of modern life with its emphasis on specialization. A class of people is growing up who are unexploitable because they are not worth employing even for the minimum wage.
Technological progress makes whole categories of people useless without making it possible to support them with the wealth produced by the progress."

~Jacques Ellul

"Create a place for people to live like human beings, instead of slaves to some bu****it concept of progress that is driving us all mad."
