Ali’s Quotes

“If we don't do our work, we become work for other people.”
― Lama Rod Owens, Love and Rage: The Path of Liberation through Anger

14 likes

“Sometimes it’s okay to think that our anger is trying to protect us. However, it is more truthful to think that it’s actually protecting something else that’s a little deeper than that. It’s protecting our hurt. It’s protecting our broken hearts. The work to turn our attention back to the woundedness is this really intense, profound path of transformation, which doesn’t feel as good as just responding to the anger, because the energy of anger makes us feel powerful.”
― Lama Rod Owens, Love and Rage: The Path of Liberation through Anger

“There’s something about our identity as activists that is so closely related to the anger that we experience. What would it look like if we formed our activist communities around joy, not the suffering or the anger, as a basis for our change work?”
― Lama Rod Owens, Love and Rage: The Path of Liberation through Anger
