"When a living system is suffering from ill health, the remedy is found by connecting with more of itself."
Francisco Varela, biologist, philosopher, and neuroscientist

"Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now."
Fred Rogers

“There is still so much in the world worth fighting for. So much that is beautiful, so many wonderful people working to reverse the harm, to help alleviate the suffering. And so many young people dedicated to making this a better world. All conspiring to inspire us and to give us hope that it is not too late to turn things around, if we all do our part.”
Dr. Jane Goodall

Alan W. Watts

Rachel Carson, "The Sense of Wonder"
I recently returned from a trip to the Grand Canyon and came across these magnificent words . . . .
