“The calling of our time appears to me to be a calling for nothing less than a reconnection of human beings to the web of life. It is a calling to co-create some kind of bridge from this collapsing paradigm to some new way of being on Earth in which we humbly return ourselves to being just one part of the web of life, rather than the crushers of the web itself.”

“Most people in the world do not fly in airplanes. 2˚C and mitigation are not about population. It is about US, the biggest consumers, reducing our consumption and emissions immediately.”

“The definition of “power” we have embraced as a result of our enculturation in an industrial growth society serves only to destroy us and the Earth community. When we are willing to mine the dark gold of the personal shadow, our definition of power is transformed by love. When we can come to love what the ego considers the worst in us, we become mercifully and skillfully equipped to love what appears unlovable and intolerable in our world.”
― Carolyn Baker, Dark Gold: The Human Shadow and the Global Crisis

“You do not have to be me in order for us to fight alongside each other. I do not have to be you to recognize that our wars are the same. What we must do is commit ourselves to some future that can include each other and to work toward that future with the particular strengths of our individual identities. And in order for us to do this, we must allow each other our differences at the same time as we recognize our sameness.”
