ÔÇØOur humankind at this moment in our destiny is a child blowing on a dandelion, without thought or understanding. But the wonder in a child is the wonder in us & thereÔÇÖs no limit to the good we can do , when human hearts connect. ItÔÇÖs the truth of us. ItÔÇÖs the story of us. ItÔÇÖs the meaning of the word god: we are one. We are one. We are one."
Gregory David Roberts, The mountain shadow
"Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery. "
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
