“I come from the side of disobedience, from the side of those that decide to follow their hearts. It is the way of the warriors, poets, and the crazy. They say that I am crazy. They say that I am crazy because I believe that to lose the reasoning is the pathway toward the heart. Because I believe that life is a work of art in eternal movement— the perfect synchronicity, the living beauty, the poem of love that never ends. I believe that life evolves according to what we see. If I change the way I see things, things begin to change . . . For we are the canvas, the paintings, and the artist.” ~Santiago Pando

“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more “successful” people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these needs have little to do with success as our culture has defined it.” ~ David Orr

“…A woman who has awakened her innate motherhood brings heaven to earth wherever she is. Only women can create a peaceful, happy world. And so it is that the one who rocks the cradle of the babe is the one who holds up the lamp, shedding light on the world….” ~Sri Mata Amritanadamayi Devi

“Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.” ~ Timothy Leary
