Wind spirit blow away all our hurt feelings.

 You can tell a lot about a people from their creation story.

Dünya hassas kalpler için zor bir yer

Yaşamak fedakarlıktan bile zordur, çok büyük cesaret ister.

We are going through the dark night of the soul together. It's a collective right of passage. 

When we die we go on dreaming but we can’t wake up anymore.

Sorrow is a river and grief is an ocean. Grief is the deepest emotion. When it’s done fully there is a revitalization of life. Emotions travel in pairs. One pair is grief and joy. When we refuse to be in grief, we lose joy.

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter is unpleasant and therefore unpopular.

Sometimes the night wakes in the middle of me...and I can do nothing but become the moon.

Dreaming it into being

The New Atheists do not believe in God, but they have a strong belief in the philosophy of materialism. Materialists believe that the entire universe is unconscious, made up of mindless matter, governed by impersonal mathematical laws. Nature has no design or purpose. Evolution is a result of the interplay of blind chance and physical necessity. Consciousness is confined to the insides of heads and only exists inside brains. God, angels and spirits are ideas in human minds: hence they are inside human brains. They have no independent existence 'out there'.

In a society that profits from your self doubt, liking yourself is a rebellious act.

The function of the state is to take public money and put it in the hands of private interest.

We cannot say goodbye to a problem until at first we have said hello.

My ancestors resisted and survived what must have seemed like an apocalyptic reality of occupation and subjugation in a context where they had few choices....They resisted by taking the seeds of our culture and political systems and packing them away, so that one day another generation of Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg might be able to plant today.

If the very old will remember, the very young will listen.

You cannot discover an inhabited land. Otherwise I could cross the Atlantic and ‘discover’ England.

Google grandma is not as accurate as grandma.

If fear is the only thing that’s holding you back then it's your path.

Nothing could ever be broken that we can't fix together.

Stars don't shine. They burn.

I'm not a practicing Jew, but I feel very Jewish.

And when you can give thanks for it all and love without conditions, then you will be free...that is the power of the heart.

Some of the biggest questions of the heart unfold as a path not an answer.
