What unifies a movement? After we go home from the demonstration,
are we still a movement? Only if we're grounded in a shared
vision … Having a vision means we have some fundamental
idea of how we want the world to be … A movement articulates
something for the future … It's not enough to express our
individualities. What kind of a world do you want for everybody?
And how can that world be demonstrated?

It is probably true quite generally that in the history of
human thinking the most fruitful developments frequently take
place at those points where two different lines of thought meet.
These lines may have their roots in quite different parts of
human nature, in different times or different cultural environments
or different religious traditions: hence if they actually meet,
that is, if they are at least so much related to each other
that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that
new and interesting developments may follow.
- Werner Heisenberg

I will go to my grave claiming that the less you spend, the
more you enjoy, the more authentic the experience it is, the

Go to the ugliest or most forlorn place you know--a drugstore
parking lot, the front porch of a crack house, a toxic waste
dump, or the place that symbolizes your secret shame--and build
a shrine devoted to beauty, truth, and love.
- Rob Brezsny, Pronoia
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of
creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.
