‘I have nearly always, during the last sixty or more years, had a friend,’ Aunt Augusta said. She added, perhaps because I looked incredulous, ‘Age, Henry, may a little modify our emotions—it does not destroy them.’

“subjection, entirely, to men. What should have been balanced was unequal. The half mistaken for the whole. Humanity meant men alone. Women were an afterthought. Lesser, inferior. The servants. Often, slaves.”

“You’re the light that holds back the darkness,” Harriett said. “Women like you have always existed. Without you, the world would be thrown out of balance.”

“Beliefs are assumptions or conclusions; values are the parts of life that bring a person meaning. Beliefs reflect what you think of the world; values reveal more about yourself. Confusing these two can be dangerous business. When someone attaches their self-worth to a belief—political, personal, or otherwise—they desperately need to be right. Challenges to what they think feel like threats to how they think—evidence they aren’t smart or good enough. The person screaming loudest is often most fearful of being wrong.”

“A mind can be turned by a single cruel word. Care should be taken in the presence of a soul.’ – Einar Benediktsson, from ‘Starkaður’s Soliloquies”

“There are two key aspects to this work of expressing our calling; the first relates to our own individual soul journey through this life, to our necessary growth as a soul. What is it that we came here to learn? The second relates to our service to the world: What particular, unique gift do we bring to this world, at this time? How do we serve its evolution, and participate in its journey of becoming? It’s important, when we reflect on calling, that we hold these two things in balance: first, service to ourselves, and our own soul journey — which is intimately entangled with the second: service to the soul of the world, and the unfolding journey of the cosmos. To do the work we came here to do, we have to say no to the cultural narrative which would render elder women invisible or write us off as irrelevant. But first, we have to take responsibility for ourselves and find a narrative to offer in its place — to uncover our own unique Inner Hag, and extend her fearlessly into the world instead.”
