William Stafford
“Next time what I'd do is look at
the earth before saying anything. I'd stop
just before going into a house
and be an emperor for a minute
and listen better to the wind
or to the air being still.

When anyone talked to me, whether
blame or praise or just passing time,
I'd watch the face, how the mouth
has to work, and see any strain, any
sign of what lifted the voice.

And for all, I'd know more -- the earth
bracing itself and soaring, the air
finding every leaf and feather over
forest and water, and for every person
the body glowing inside the clothes
like a light.”
William Stafford, An Oregon Message

Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
“Seek refuge in the attitude of detachment and you will amass the wealth of spiritual awareness. Those who are motivated only by desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they are constantly anxious about the results of what they do. 50 When consciousness is unified, however, all vain anxiety is left behind. There is no cause for worry, whether things go well or ill.”
Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

Angela Y. Davis
“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”
Angela Y. Davis

Claudia Rankine
“because white men can't
police their imagination
black men are dying”
Claudia Rankine, Citizen: An American Lyric

Rebecca Solnit
“Blue is the color of longing for the distances you never arrive in, for the blue world.”
Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost
