Adrienne Rich
“My heart is moved by all I cannot save:
so much has been destroyed
I have to cast my lot with those
who age after age, perversely,
with no extraordinary power,
reconstitute the world.”
Adrienne Rich

Rebecca Solnit
“Perhaps walking is best imagined as an 'indicator species,' to use an ecologist's term. An indicator species signifies the health of an ecosystem, and its endangerment or diminishment can be an early warning sign of systemic trouble. Walking is an indicator species for various kinds of freedom and pleasures: free time, free and alluring space, and unhindered bodies.”
Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking

Sharon Salzberg
“We don’t need any sort of religious orientation to lead a life that is ethical, compassionate & kind.”
Sharon Salzberg, The Force of Kindness: Change Your Life with Love & Compassion
