The Awakening
Every step which she took toward relieving herself from obligations added to her strength and expansion as an individual. She began to look with her own eyes; to see and to apprehend the deeper undercurrents of life. No longer was she content to “feed upon opinion” when her own soul had invited her.
My mind is chock-full of E.E. Cummings today..
here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

“What about little microphones? What if everyone swallowed them, and they played the sounds of our hearts through little speakers, which could be in the pouches of our overalls? When you skateboarded down the street at night you could hear everyone’s heartbeat, and they could hear yours, sort of like sonar. One weird thing is, I wonder if everyone’s hearts would start to beat at...

A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. On the one hand, we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life’s roadside, but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make...

American Pastoral
“You fight your superficiality, your shallowness, so as to try to come at people without unreal expectations, without an overload of bias or hope or arrogance, as untanklike as you can be, sans cannon and machine guns and steel plating half a foot thick; you come at them unmenacingly on your own ten toes instead of tearing up the turf with your caterpillar treads, take them on with an open...

I’ve learned from most and regretted - only a few. The people you let into your life shape you. The good ones - they breathe fresh air into your lungs, they inspire you; they can make you imagine a life you’ve...

You know Hollywood, you know Wall Street, you know the White House, you know a society misguided by capitalism and consumerism. You forget to see the people, the 300 million PEOPLE, diverse and rich in their own cultures, their own religions/belief systems, their own history - living together, working together, trying to make a better life for themselves and the people around them.

Humans are infinetly selfish beings. We live confined to our own brains, which allow us to experience the world. We love ourselves in love and hate ourselves in hate - we are judgemental, we are irrational, we lay burdened by our own experience, our own prejudice, our own stigma.
We are scarred by these experiences (good and bad), bruised by our own egos. Unflinching in our stubborn ways...
