I just don't resonate with the view that somehow it's only the gifted people, it's only the activist people that can do things. That's part of the reason we're in the horrible situation that we're in. Everybody can do something, there's just no end to work to be done on this planet.

I think spirituality, for me, is a sense of wholeness, oneness and moving in the world in that reality, that I am not separate from anything. And I am constantly interbeing with everything. I am connected to the stars that I see and the stars that I will never see and I am from them and I will return to them in some cycle far beyond what I can even imagine. I'm always here, I will always be here, I have always been here, wherever here is. I feel completely at home in this reality that I'm in. I sense it, feel it as miraculous, divine, and myself no less miraculous, no less divine.

I feel a great sadness that so much of it would be destroyed and is destroyed just because humans don't care enough. It's just amazing to me that people could wantonly destroy such perfection.
