“The earth is still turning...

The seasons enter,
play their part, bow and move on
every year, one to the next,
never overstaying their welcome
but always always returning.

There is great comfort in that.”

“We live in anxious times, my love,
anxiety-producing times.
It doesn't mean we have to be anxious,
but if we've got it,
we've got to find some way to relieve it.”

“What would it mean to
overcome oppression?
What would it mean for our society to
have that kind of transformation?...

What awareness?
What daring?
To get people to see
that no one is really thriving
if others are laid waste?...

What would it mean?
What would it take?”
― Shellen Lubin

“There is power in continuing to work
to strive
to serve
to love
to do good
to clean up from bad
to rest
to question
to try to find balance
even when the purpose is unclear,
even when the value is murky,
even when you can't see the path forward
and there's no end in sight.

There is power in effort.
There is power in persistence.
There is power in
Continuing on.”
