There comes a time
when humanity is called to shift
to a new level of consciousness,
to reach a higher moral ground.
A time when we have to shed our fear
and give hope to each other.

Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere.
Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them.

Poetry is a life-cherishing force.
For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold,
ropes let down to the lost,
something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry.

We are so brief.
A one-day dandelion.

We are a feather falling from the wing of a bird.
I don’t know why it is given to us to be so mortal and to feel so much.
It is a cruel trick, and glorious.

“The kind of hope I often think about (especially in situations that are particularly hopeless, such as prison)
I understand above all as a state of mind, not a state of the world.
Either we have hope within us or we don’t; it is a dimension of the soul;
it’s not essentially dependent on some particular observation of the world or estimate of the situation.

Hope is a not prognostication. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart;
it transcends the world that is immediately experienced, and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons.
Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well,
or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success,
but, rather, an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.”

former president of the Czech Republic,

"I have a full life. A privileged life. An unendangered life.
But sometimes the simple joys escape me.
Joy is not always a feeling that is freely bestowed upon us,
often it is something we must actively seek.
In a way, joy is a decision, an action, even a practised method of being.
It is an earned thing brought into focus by what we have lost
— at least, it can seem that way."

The president is a nationalist, which is not at all the same thing as a patriot.
A nationalist encourages us to be our worst, and then tells us that we are the best.
A nationalist, 'although endlessly brooding on power, victory, defeat, revenge,' wrote Orwell, tends to be 'uninterested in what happens in the real world.'
Nationalism is relativist, since the only truth is the resentment we feel when we contemplate others.
As the novelist Danilo Kiš put it, nationalism 'has no universal values, aesthetic or ethical.'
A patriot, by contrast, wants the nation to live up to its ideals, which means asking us to be our best selves.
A patriot must be concerned with the real world, which is the only place where his country can be loved and sustained.
A patriot has universal values, standards by which he judges his nation, always wishing it well—and wishing that it would do better.

Mindfulness of our own mortality,
of the preciousness of our time,
can bring a sense of aliveness.
The heart that doesn't cling
just holds everything—
all the comings and goings—
with ease, an open heart,

that we're going to die.
It's so powerful

In order for plants or trees to become your beloveds, you must build your relationship with them to the point at which you not only become partners but you fall deeply in love with each other. After falling in love, a union develops, where instead of being in love you are love with each other.
To "be love" is a state of being that requires constant presence where, like a state of grace, you are influenced by the divine.

Every human being has a right to be fed.
A right to food.
...even if it’s the worst thief in the world,
he has a right to food.
...food is not a bargaining tool of power;
food is a basic, shared manifestation of God.

All intimate relationships—
close friendships and good marriages—
are based on continued and mutual forgiveness.
You will always trespass
upon your friend's sensibilities
at one time or another, or your spouse's.
The only question is,
Will you forgive the other person?
And more importantly,
Will you forgive yourself?
We have to deepen our understanding,
make ourselves more equal to circumstances,
more easy with what we have been given
or not given.
We must drink from the deep well
of things as they are.

Moving through the stages of life and meeting each on its own terms is the supreme art of living — the ultimate test of self-respect and self-love.

That is interesting. It relates to a passage I was reading from Matthew Wood’s Book of Herbal Wisdom.

Lactuca is suited to conditions where cold has supervened over the normal body-heat. This results in a cold, tight state, with tight sinews and muscles, rheumatic aching the joints, but with evidence of heat still showing through at the corners. When the heat has been completely extinguished, we need Wormwood or one of its cousins, Mugwort or Sagebrush.

Internal cold is not caused by a lack of heat in the system, but by external cold which has invaded, and become locked in. When cold results from a lack of internal heat it is called "yang deficiency" in Chinese medicine. Because of the deficiency of yang (fire) the patient is not only cold but weak and relaxed. Internal cold, on the other hand, is associated with tension because the cold has forced its way in.

He goes on to describe the lettuce personality as associated with homelessness or extended hardship and a sense of being mostly deadened, saying again that wormwood is best for when the internal heat has been completely deadened. It’s interesting to make a parallel with that above quote.

Coming to the spiritual path
is coming to the path of love.
Spirituality is not a cold, dry subject
to be studied and memorized.
It is not a rigid meditation
in which we cut ourselves off from people
in our family and community or life.
Rather, spirituality is immersing ourselves into the love
that is our true nature,
into the love between ourselves and others,
and our loving connection with all life itself.
Spirituality is an experience of becoming love itself.

The search for happiness
is not about looking at life
through rose-colored glasses
or blinding oneself to the pain
and imperfections of the world.
Nor is happiness a state of exaltation
to be perpetuated at all costs;
it is the purging of mental toxins
such as hatred and obsession
that literally poison the mind.
