Two hundred years ago, we were all busy farming and we all had a role to play. The home was a unit of production. We made food and all the things we needed, we took care of our kids and were connected to purpose in our evolution. When the Industrial Revolution came along, it took away a lot of the work the men had done.

What we have is a crisis of imagination. Albert Einstein said that you cannot solve a problem with the same mind-set that created it.

Patriarchy is connected to greed, a symptom of a larger force that can only be dispelled through kindness and love. It's basic Buddhism.

Things today have become too big, too centralized, and too disassociated to be in relationship to each other.

Don't walk in with a colonial mindset and say, "We know your problem and we're going to fix it."

It didn't matter how big our house was; it mattered that there was love in it.

My gut sense is there's something necessary going on and if I'm too fearful or angry, I feel like I'm feeding it.
