living our dreams because 

we are living our fears.

"We're each of us

alone, to be sure.

What can you do

but hold your hand

out in the dark.'

Ursula LeGuin

 "When your heart speaks 

take good notes."

           Judith Campbell 

"When you go out into the woods

and you look at trees, you see

all these different trees. And some

of them are bent, and some of them

are straight, and some of them

are evergreens, and some of them

are whatever. And you look at

the tree and you allow it.

You appreciate it.

You see why it is the way it is.

You sort of understand that it

didn’t get enough light, and so

it turned that way. And you don’t

get all emotional about it.

You just allow it.

You appreciate the tree. -

- The minute you get near humans,

you lose all that. And you are

constantly saying “You’re too this,

or I’m too this.” That judging mind

comes in. And so

I practice turning

people into trees.

Which means

appreciating them

just the way

they are."

that’s enough. 

Not everyone is
