• I think each person knows what's good for them. I don't think you need to be drastic. But it's finding where's passion in your life. We can't live without dreams.

• Cynicism isn't smarter, it's only safer. There's nothing fluffy about optimism. ... People have the idea that optimism is fluffy, like you're going to have all these people like walking around in hippy clothing and utopia. No it's very practical. It's just a matter of people being more fulfilled and more whole as human beings.

• I'd sit on logs like pulpits
  listen to the sermon
  of sparrows
  and find god in Simplicity,
  there amongst the dandelion
  and thorn
  • "As a Child I Walked"

• the greatest
  Grace
  we can aspire to
  is the strength
  to see the wounded
  walk with the forgotten
  and pull ourselves
  from the screaming
  blood of our losses
  to fight on
  undaunted
  all the more
