Anne Lamott
“Life is such a mystery that you have to wonder if God drinks a little.”
Anne Lamott, Somehow: Thoughts on Love

“we are witnessed, even at the end of our lives. You are seen. You are heard. Your life matters. Your death will too.”
Alua Arthur, Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic Life by Getting Real About the End – The New York Times Bestselling Memoir on Death and Human Connection

“in American history. Those who think this fact has no place in our schools would—intentionally or not—hasten a return to unquestioned white dominance. We should never forget that it took National Guard soldiers to get Black and white kids seated together in American schools, that abstract notions of a colorblind Constitution weren’t a shield against slavery’s horrors or the savagery of lynching, that Jim Crow was a legal regime codifying racial subordination, and that civil rights wrested from white supremacy’s stingy fingers could be snatched back.”
Victor Ray, On Critical Race Theory: Why It Matters & Why You Should Care

Margaret Renkl
“What if resting, all by itself, is the real act of holiness? What if honoring the gift of
our only life in this gorgeous world means taking time every week to slow down? To sleep? To breathe? The natural world has never
needed us more than it needs us now, but we can’t be of much use to it if we remain in a perpetual state of exhaustion and despair.”
Margaret Renkl, The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year

Margaret Renkl
“Pull up a weed from the wet soil of the drenched garden and smell the rich life the earthworm has left behind. Just a whiff of it will flood you with a feeling of well-being. The microbes in freshly turned soil stimulate serotonin production, working on the human brain the same way antidepressants do.”
Margaret Renkl, The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year
