You grieve Not that heaven does not exist but That it exists without us

The global warming is going on. These are not single cases. These are all part of a general way we've been looking at the world. As long as we look at the world that way it's going to go on. Because the idea that the important thing is for some people get rich while the rest of the people work for them is very deeply dug in...

I wouldn't be happy about being considered a love poet or an environmental - I don't want any of those tags.

I think there's a kind of desperate hope built into poetry that one really wants, hopelessly, to save the world. One is trying to say everything that can be said for the things that one loves while there's still time.

I will take with me the emptiness of my hands. What you do not have you find everywhere

What you remember saves you.

Now all my teachers are dead except silence.
