Standing on the peak of a four-thousand-foot mountain that I’ve climbed is all the exhilaration and achievement I’ve ever needed. On every single summit I’ve ever climbed my life feels small; not insignificantly so, but reassuringly so.

“Let’s remember that the “System” is led by individuals, by a relatively small number of people, who have names, with more money than God and certainly less compassion. They sit in boardrooms deciding to exploit fossil fuels for short-term gain while the world burns. They know the science, they know the consequences, but they proceed with ecocidal business as usual and do it anyway. Their behavior feels to me like the same kind of arrogant entitlement as Darren the Farm Stand thief or Darren the Planet Wrecker. They’re all thieves, stealing our future, while we pass around the zucchini.”

“Finally, we come to the realization that life is just a laboratory, and we're all doing the best we can. We are only passing through, so let's learn how to love ourselves and others, find joy, and do no harm.”

“We mustn't let Silicon Valley off the hook, but we should be honest: much of the time, we give in to distraction willingly. Something in us wants to be distracted, whether by our digital devices or anything else - to not spend our lives on what we thought we cared about the most.”

“The American Dream, as we know it, is abundance. It's a dream to amass houses, children, cars. It's a dream to collect things of value. But it is an equally American dream to be able to abandon, drop everything, to jettison, without guilt, anything that weighs you down.”
