Don’t Kill Yourself, You Have to Stay
"I’m issuing a rule. You are not allowed to kill yourself. You are going to like this, stay with me. When a person kills himself, he does wrenching damage to the community. One of the best predictors of suicide is knowing a suicide. That means that every suicide is also a delayed homicide. You have to stay." ~ Jennifer Michael Hecht
Our Memory of the Moments
“What we know of other people
Is only our memory of the moments
During which we knew them.”
~ T.S. Eliot
Awake My Soul
“In these bodies we will live,
in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love,
you invest your life
Awake my soul…”
~ Mumford & Sons
Exercising Our Attention Potential
"The real problem is that we don’t appreciate our ownability to use attention to select and create truly satisfying experience."

It Turns to Reveal Its Other Face
"This hand is directly linked to hands that learned to reach and grasp and climb and push up on dry land and weave reeds into baskets, and it has a fantastic history. Every particle and every atom in this hand goes back to the beginning of space-time. We're part of that story."
~ Joanna Macy
