“So don’t be frightened, dear friend, if a sadness confronts you larger than any you have ever known, casting its shadow over all you do. You must think that something is happening within you, and remember that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall. Why would you want to exclude from your life any uneasiness, any pain, any depression, since you don’t know what work they are accomplishing within you?” ~Rainer Maria Rilke

“The object of prayer is to evoke a feeling … that the miracle has already happened and our prayers have been answered … Our prayer becomes a prayer of thanks for the opportunity to choose which creation we experience. Through our thanks, we honor all possibilities and bring the ones we choose into this world.” ~ Gregg Braden
“…our ancestors devised every method imaginable to alert us to a single fact; now is the time of the most extraordinary conditions and opportunities that accompany the rarest of events, the shift from one world age to the next.” ~ Gregg Braden
“These are muddy water days, but upstream the brook runs clear and sparkles in the sunlight. So give me my oars and I shall paddle us there.” ~Melanie Porter
“Would you like to save the world from the degradation and destruction it seems destined for? Then step away from shallow mass movements and quietly go to work on your own self-awareness. If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.” ~Lao Tzu

“This is the way I’ve heard the legend passed down through the ages. ~ A time will come when the Earth and all of life will need our help. At this time a tribe will gather from all cultures of the world. They will be recognized by their spirit connection and life giving actions toward the finned, the winged, the creepy crawling, the standing green growing, the four legged, two legged nations and all that is. They will awaken humankind to find a star inside themselves. This star will guide them to overcome the mountains of ignorance, prejudice, hatred and fear through compassion, harmony and honor. They will find a new song and a new dream. The beautiful bow that hangs in the sky after a storm is a monument to these ones. ~ I believe we are living in this time now. All of us with this vision are the tribe, we are the rainbow warriors, we will heal the world. We are the cherished dream and vision of the ancient ones of long ago.” ~Silversong Cree/Blackfoot

“The innumerable losses of industrial civilization’s collapse will, over time, bring forth a new story and a new relationship with people, resources, things, and the earth. It will necessitate living as if our very breath is a gift and every person in our lives is an opportunity to pass on the gifts we have received. The death of the old paradigm and all of the trappings of industrial civilization will provide space to forge new values, new relationships, and minimize, if not completely obliterate, the concept of debt from human consciousness.” ~Carolyn Baker
“When you are free, all who come in contact with you, will be blessed. Some may run away, but still they run away blessed.” ~ Mooji
“Take the time to go deep within, and listen to your heart. Follow that heart, wherever it may lead you. With every opportunity that comes your way, ask yourself — is this a path with heart? If it’s not, move on. There’s no time to waste in false pursuits. You can be a sacred warrior, you can be both fierce and compassionate, you have the stuff! Occupy the emptiness of corporate culture, with love.” ~ Velcrow Ripper
