“To be poor and be without trees, is to be the most starved human being in the world. To be poor and have trees, is to be completely rich in ways that money can never buy.” ― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, The Faithful Gardener: A Wise Tale About That Which Can Never Die

“It isn’t the rebels who cause the troubles of the world, it’s the troubles that cause the rebels.” ~Carl Oglesby
Calling all Rebels! An amazing and powerful speech by activist and journalist Chris Hedges. A little lengthy, but well worth listening.
“Do not be afraid to speak your mind. Do not withhold what your heart wants the world to hear. Perhaps you have the key ingredient for somebody else’s revolutionary idea to be manifested. An idea that will modify the course of a future much needed for this planet and the continuous evolution of the human brain, which for the past couple of hundred years or so, gives rise to a mind that seems to be cheating itself down to its own extinction by not having the courage of speaking its most “wild” and “twisted” ideas. These culturally laid down labels of disempowerment are what we need to abolish, simply by speaking our minds in a way that we internally feel is necessary.” ~ Zdravko Stefanovic
“Those of us who love peace must organize as effectively as the war hawks. As they spread the propaganda of war, we must spread the propaganda of peace. We must combine the fervor of the civil rights movement with the peace movement. We must demonstrate, teach and preach, until the very foundations of our nation are shaken. We must work unceasingly to lift this nation that we love to a higher destiny, to a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humaneness.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.
“Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish. … The trouble is you won’t fight. You’ve given up. But there’s something just as inevitable as death. And that’s life. Think of the power of the universe — turning the Earth, growing the trees. That’s the same power within you — if you’ll only have the courage and the will to use it.” ~Charlie Chaplin

“Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.” ~Jack Kerouac
“Today we are in a war against war – music is our power.” ~Michael Franti
This was one of my very first posts on this site, but I am reposting for those who missed it. An awesome piece from Woody Harrelson. Enjoy!
