Hope is not what we find in evidence, it's what we become in action.

Our food system takes abundant grain,which people can't afford,and shrinks it into meat,which better-off people will pay for.

Nature has an incredible capacity for regeneration and growth, but we can't experience it if we stay fearful and focused on lack.

Even the fear of death is nothing compared to the fear of not having lived authentically and fully.

We got hooked on grain-fed meat just as we got hooked on gas guzzling automobiles. Big cars made sense only when oil was cheap; grain-fed meat makes sense only because the true costs of producing it are not counted.

I believe it is possible that we can turn today's breakdown into a planetary breakthrough on one condition. We can do it if we can break free of a set of dominant but misleading ideas that are taking us down.

We can choose who we bring into our lives. We can choose who will reinforce our risk taking.
