To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach for another is to risk involvement. To expose your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To believe is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. Those that deny risk may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live. Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free."--Anonymous...
Where is the warrioress?
the woman no longer overwhelmed
by the disempowering mother
not lost in lack of father
who has gone into the deep-
-into her body and soul
who has seen her own death
and is reborn
to feel, to touch, to love,
to give---life!
no longer running from intimacy
who has removed her makeup
and traded it for the night -Charlie Ranke..
A human being is part of the whole called by us "Universe"...a part limited in time and space. He experiences his thoughts and feelings as separate from the rest-a kind of optical delusion of his own consciousness. The delusion is a prison for us restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of humanity and its beauty -Albert Einstein..
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic.He is more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us when he sees it debouched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime: he is a good citizen driven to despair.-H.L. Mencken
Love is a symbol of eternity.It wipes out all sense of time,destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end."..
When the Earth is ravaged and the animals are daying,A new tribe of people shall come unto the Earth from many colors, classes, creeds, and who by their actions and deeds,shall make the Earth green again. They will be known as the "Warriors of the Rainbow"-Old Native American Prophecy
