“None of us really has any idea how many lives we touch or what impact we have on those lives. In most cases, we will never get to see what
difference we made, but living out loud isn’t about noticing the results. It is about doing what we came here to do, for no reason other than that it is our life purpose.”
― Collapsing Consciously: Transformative Truths for Turbulent Times

“Gratitude is a state of mind that inherently recognizes interdependence with the external world, whether it be other humans, nature, the sacred, or a combination of these.”

“There is no one story that will replace the American dream, but stories
like this one—and there are thousands—can inform the myth or myths
we create for building and preserving the next culture. In order to do so,
however, we must recognize that we cannot live without myth, for it is an
essential part of our humanity. If we attempt to do so—given the fact that
something in us needs myth—we
will only create more myths that echo
the American dream—with themes of heroism, greed, entitlement, narcissism,
exploitation, exceptionalism, and myriad abuses of power. How we prepare for and navigate collapse will provide the raw materials for the myths we make and will live by in a postindustrial world.”
