Our correspondences have wings - paper birds that fly from my house to yours - flocks of ideas crisscrossing the country. Once opened, a connection is made. We are not alone in the world.

To be whole. To be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from.

The question I'm constantly asking myself is: what are we afraid of? I think it's important for us to follow that line of fear, because that is ultimately our line of growth.

To hear something asks very little of us. To listen places our entire being on notice.

Blind obedience in the name of patriotism or religion ultimately takes our lives.

There are times we have to put our body on the line for what we believe, for the injustices we see even within our own families.

Our power lies in our love of our homelands.
