“I think the greatest of all distractions between heart and throat might be faithlessness, because reigning religious institutions have effectively redirected the focus from faith to matters of righteousness, wrongness and “policies.” Faith in love, and what it can do, has taken a particularly destructive backseat to the priorities of massive organizations with other things in mind than loving kindness, peaceful communication, fair resolutions, wellness, and the expressive voices of living, breathing people.”

“Remind me, when I hesitate to follow my excitement, that magic reveals itself in unstructured movement and communication. To hold back is to forbid the dawning to occur. Tolerate my meanderings.

― Bonnie Jo Campbell, The Waters: A Novel
