Inspiration

“May we see with clarity,
May we seek a vision
That serves all beings, may we honor
The Mystery surpassing our sight,
And may we hold in our hands
The gift of good work
and bear it forth whole, as we
Were borne forth by a power we praise
To this one earth, this homeland of all we love.”
-John Daniel, from the poem “A Prayer Among Friends.”

“We are local people with useful skills in practical situations . . .  Learn to build your own damn house. We are here to help. We are building a network.”
Giulietta Carrelli, owner Trouble Coffee and Coconut Club
