Influences" To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic, it is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presence, and to live now, as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

" I dont believe its possible to be neutral. The world is already moving in certain directions. And to be neutral, to be passive, in a situation like that, is to collaborate with whatever is going on. And I as a teacher do not want to be a collaborator with whatever is happening in the world. I want , myself as a teacher, and I want you as students, to intercede with whatever is happening in the world."

ok, see you out there, or in here.

"Stop thinking this is all there is. Realize that for every ongoing war & religious outrage & environmental devastation, there are a thousand counterbalancing acts of staggering generosity & humanity & art & beauty happening all over the world right now on a breathtaking scale. Resist the temptation to drown in fatalism, to shake your head & sigh & just throw in the karmic towel. Realize that this is the perfect moment to change the energy of the world, to step right up & crank your personal volume: right when it seems dark and bitter & offensive & acrimonious & conflicted, there is your opening. Remember magic. And finally believe you are part of a groundswell, a resistance, a seemingly small but actually very, very large impending karmic overhaul, a great shift, the beginning of something important, potent, & unstoppable."

- this quote was transcribed from the wall of a place of worship
