“The marketplace is an institution that teaches self-advancement, private acquisition, and the domination of nature. Its way of thinking is incompatible with the round river. Ecological harmony is a nonmarket value that takes a collective will to achieve.”
Donald Worster, The Wealth of Nature: Environmental History and the Ecological Imagination

Helen Humphreys
“Grief moves us like love. Grief is love, I suppose. Love as a backwards glance.”
Helen Humphreys, The Lost Garden

“Although healing may not be the primary focus of the sexual experience, sexual issues of repression or trauma can be brought to the lovemaking session and patiently addressed.”
Michael Mirdad, An Introduction To Tantra And Sacred Sexuality

“We trust ourselves, far more than our ancestors did… The root of our predicament lies in the simple fact that, though we remain a flawed and unstable species, plagued now as in the past by a thousand weaknesses, we have insisted on both unlimited freedom and unlimited power. It would now seem clear that, if we want to stop the devastation of the earth, the growing threats to our food, water, air, and fellow creatures, we must find some way to limit both.”
Donald Worster, Under Western Skies: Nature and History in the American West

Starhawk
“A defense strategy favored by many “spiritual” people is an elaborate form of denial, an assertion that the individual has “gone beyond” the shadow qualities of sexuality, anger, passion, desire, and self-interest. Many religions cater exclusively to this strategy. Priests, ministers, gurus, and “enlightened masters” who adopt a posture of transcendent superiority have great appeal to people with similar defense systems, who are able to escape their personal confrontations by identifying as members of an elite, 'enlightened' group.”
Starhawk, The Spiral Dance: A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Great Goddess
