quote
“Boys be boys, apes be apes, and yums be yummed. Life’s better when we let people love what they love. And if you can’t handle that, maybe it’s time for some
slip-and-slide therapy.” Ken Breniman |

quote
“In the middle of this price reduction, they launched a quirky campaign to encourage empathy and kindness. Customers were offered discounts if they could provide evidence of how they had “Yummed someone else’s yum.”

“One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals. When we pool our strength and share the work and responsibility, we can welcome many people, even those in deep distress, and perhaps help them find self-confidence and inner healing.”

“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.”

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity.”

“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”

“Some might call these people power-hungry baboons, but frankly, that’s an insult to baboons. At least real baboons know how to lead within their own social structures. Their hierarchies—though rigid—serve a function in their troop. Alpha baboons protect their community, share resources (to an extent), and engage in elaborate social grooming that reinforces connection. When an alpha loses their strength or abuses their role, they get overthrown, often dramatically, but fairly. Compare that to human leaders who cling to power at all costs, build systems that ensure their dominance, and leave the weak to suffer.”
