“are we a queer and distinct people, with revolutionary potential born from our experiences—or are we really just like everybody else except for what we do in bed?”

“Choosing aloneness doesn’t mean that I disconnect from the experiences of others, especially their suffering. I don’t think I will ever have the capacity to forget the suffering of others. But what it does mean is that I can notice and hold space for others’ suffering without trying to absorb it into my experience.”
― Lama Rod Owens, The New Saints: From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors

“An experience of collective pain does not deliver us from grief or sadness; it is a ministry of presence. These moments remind us that we are not alone in our darkness and that our broken heart is connected to every heart that has known pain since the beginning of time.”

“True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness. True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.”
― Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone
