Everyone must take time to sit + watch the leaves turn.
​~Elizabeth Lawrence

To be alone is a primal fear,
and modern society has rendered us more and more alone.
But the time of reunion is here.
Every act of
compassion, kindness, courage or generosity
heals us from the story of separation,
because it assures both actor and witness that
​we are in this together.
~Charles Eisenstein

Fight for the things you care about, 
but do it in a way that will
lead others to join you.
~Ruth Bader Ginsburg

But there is much beauty here,
because there is much beauty everywhere.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

She quickly fell in love with the freedom of owning less.
~Laura Fenton

Getting rid of stuff is the easiest, most affordable way to create space.
~ Jacqueline Schmidt

We carry within us the notion, carefully nurtured by advertising,
that the more products + services we can afford, the happier we will be.
But, in fact, above a certain point, material goods rarely alter our levels of happiness,
unlike emotional experience.
Historically, the wealthier we have become, the more unhappy we are.
Having can never replace being.
​~Ilse Crawford

it's a state of mind

Immortality was never won by doing normal.
​~Jenny Mustard

I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart +
stand up for what you truly believe.
In my life I have done all I can to demonstrate
that the way of peace,
the way of love
+ nonviolence
is the more excellent way.
Now it is your turn to let freedom ring.

When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century,
let them say that it was your generation who
laid down
the heavy burdens of hate at last + that
peace finally triumphed
over violence, aggression and war.
So I say to you,
​walk with the wind,
​brothers and sisters,
and let the spirit of peace + the power of everlasting love
be your guide.
​~John Lewis
