That is the only thing I need my children to know about themselves: Nothing will destroy them. So I do not want to protect them from life’s fires; I want to point them toward the fire and say, “I see your fear, and it’s big. I also see your courage, and it’s bigger. We can do hard things, baby. We are fireproof.”
Glennon Doyle
We are all entangled, integrated, dependent on each other and the more-than-human world around us. We are a part of nature, so for us to thrive, nature must thrive.

A. G Sulzberger
Yes, the world is crazy. If it doesn’t make sense to you, you’re right. It really doesn’t make sense.
The point is not to complain about it. The point is not to give up hope. The point is this: The world doesn’t make sense, but you can make sense. You can find personal meaning.

The only thing that was ever wrong with me was my belief that there was something wrong with me. I quit spending my life trying to control myself and began to trust myself. We only control what we don’t trust. We can either control our selves or love our selves, but we can’t do both. Love is the opposite of control. Love demands trust.
Glennon Doyle
