I miss this guy
"We are moving into a period of bewilderment, a curious moment in which people find light in the midst of despair, and vertigo at the summit of their hopes.
It is a religious moment also, and here is the danger.
People will want to obey the voice of Authority, and many strange constructs of just what Authority is will arise in every mind…
The public yearning for Order will invite many stubborn uncompromising persons to impose it.
The sadness of the zoo will fall upon society."

-Leonard Cohen
from 'the book of longing'
2006

...for Human Rights Day

“Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home – so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighbourhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerned citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.”

Eleanor Roosevelt

I think we need to rethink economic policies and make thermodynamics the basis of economic theory.

Active hope is a practice.
Like tai chi or gardening,
it is something we do rather than have.
It is a process we can apply to any situation,
and it involves three key steps.
First, we take a clear view of reality;
second, we identify what we hope for
in terms of the direction we'd like things to move in
or the values we'd like to see expressed;
and third, we take steps to move ourselves
or our situation in that direction.

~Joanna Macy

(1929-pres., environmental activist, author,
scholar of Buddhism, general systems theory,

In the full intensity of the present moment

there is never anything to fear—

there is only something to deal with.

It is a subtle point but it is absolutely true:

the fear I experience now

is not really present-moment based:

I am afraid of what is going to happen.

If you could be in the radical present moment,

not lost in the past,

not anxious about the future,

you could be fearless.

~Norman Fischer
