      • 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
