“The earth has music for those who listen.” ~ George Santayana
Art by Roman Velichko
“Who feels the deep yearning to finally and completely be free of the oppression of debt slavery, inequality, wars for profit and all manmade disasters and mans inhumanity to man? The human spirit has had enough, and it is demanding its rights be restored back to him/her as a sovereign being!” ~ Tahra Ahmed
“Imagination is the force that pulls your physical, emotional, and mental energies into dynamic harmony, giving wings to your soul…Making your visions happen. Enriching your world, putting your mark on it…You just have to determine to settle for nothing less than being fully alive- to show up, be who you are, and share your gifts.” ~Gabrielle Roth
“How monotonous our speaking becomes when we speak only to ourselves! And how insulting to the other beings – to foraging black bears and twisted old cypresses – that no longer sense us talking to them, but only about them, as though they were not present in our world…Small wonder that rivers and forests no longer compel our focus or our fierce devotion. For we walk about such entities only behind their backs, as though they were not participant in our lives. Yet if we no longer call out to the moon slipping between the clouds, or whisper to the spider setting the silken struts of her web, well, then the numerous powers of this world will no longer address us – and if they still try, we will not likely hear them.” ~ David Abram, Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology

“Think, dear friend, reflect on the world that you carry within yourself. And name this thinking what you wish…Just be sure that you observe carefully what wells up within you and place that above everything that you notice around you. Your innermost happening is worth all your love. You must somehow work on that.” ~Ranier Maria Rilke
“In this time of great change, we will rabble-rouse for our future. We will make beautiful trouble on behalf of all peoples. We will roil this continent with upheaval for justice. We will rock the foundations of our nation with coordinated nonviolent action. We will disobey with great love the systems of destruction. We will wage struggle until the legal and social structures that lead us toward disaster are changed. We will be modern-day Gandhi’s, King’s, Chavez’, and Jesus’. We will be active, engaged, and above all else, we will be kind, be connected, and be unafraid.” ~ Rivera Sun
The Worldwide Wave of Action has begun!
“Spiritual progress is like detoxification. Things have to come up in order to be released. Once we have asked to be healed, then our unhealed places are forced to the surface.” ~ Marianne Williamson

“Do not be afraid of what appears to be chaos or dissolution – embrace the full measure of your life at any cost. Bare your heart to the Unknown and never look back. Sincerity, one-pointedness, and courage are indispensable qualities in awakening from the dream state of ego to the peace and ease of awakened Being.” ~Adyashanti

“First become alone. First start enjoying yourself. First love yourself. First become so authentically happy that if nobody comes it doesn’t matter; you are full, overflowing. If nobody knocks at your door it is perfectly okay — you are not missing. You are not waiting for somebody to come and knock at the door. You are at home. If somebody comes, good, beautiful. If nobody comes, that too is beautiful and good. THEN move into relationship. Now you move like a master, not like a beggar. Now you move like an emperor, not like a beggar. And the person who has lived in his aloneness will always be attracted to another person who is also living his aloneness beautifully, because the same attracts the same. When two masters meet — masters of their being, of their aloneness — happiness is not just added, it is multiplied. It becomes a tremendous phenomenon of celebration. And they don’t exploit, they share. They don’t use each other. Rather, on the contrary, they both become one and enjoy the existence that surrounds them.” ~Osho
