That is scary, when you consider what we're doing to children all over the planet. They're the ones who are truly being terrorized by all the madness adults are perpetrating.

No matter how hidden the cruelty, no matter how far off the screams of pain and terror, we live in one world. We are one people.

We will be ourselves and free, or die in the attempt. Harriet Tubman was not our great-grandmother for nothing.

The good news may be that Nature is phasing out the white man, but the bad news is that's who She thinks we all are.

I think I'm led by spirit. I think I'm led by a sense of what is right and what feels good to me - what I accept, what is joyful, what is positive. I see my mission, in a way, as carrying that forward - not so much by preaching, but by embodiment.

It is chilling to think that the same people who persecuted the wise women and men of Europe, its midwives and healers, then crossed the oceans to Africa and the Americas and tortured and enslaved, raped, impoverished, and eradicated the peaceful, Christ-like people they found. And that the blueprint from which they worked, and still work, was the Bible.

People will say to you, "Oh, you are fearless." That is so not true. We should stop saying that about people. It's a slander, really.
