“Love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away… and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast. Be happy about your growth, in which of course you can’t take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don’t torment them with your doubts and don’t frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn’t be able to comprehend… love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.
And don’t expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.”
We all have a role in revolution. Do not judge those whose role is not yours.

How economic growth has become anti-life
An obsession with growth has eclipsed our concern for sustainability, justice and human dignity. But people are not disposable. The value of life lies outside economic development

ART: “Our True History”
By Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Yaqui/Xicano
One of Honor The Treaties Artists.“A lot of folks don’t realize that Indians still exist in their ancestral homelands east of the Mississippi. That’s really the product of an educational system that essentially taught a version of history that excluded who we are. There was a method to that madness — it didn’t happen accidentally. It happened because those folks who approved textbooks and the curriculum of the schools told it their way. The fact that people in [Virginia] didn’t realize we existed wasn’t happenstance. It was all part of a systematic process to disallow American Indians’ existence.” —Stephen Adkins, Chickahominy
