MORSEL FOR MEDITATION

"If a person gave away your body to some passerby, you'd be furious.

Yet you hand over your mind to anyone who comes along so they may abuse you, leaving it disturbed and troubled-have you no shame in that?" Epictetus, Enchiridion, 28

We’re just a drop in the bucket, and that’s meaningless. But we say, “No, wait a minute. If you have a bucket, those raindrops fill it up very fast. Being a drop in the bucket is magnificent.” The problem is we cannot see the bucket. Our work is helping people see that there is a bucket. There are all these people all over the world who are creating this bucket of hope. And so our drops are incredibly significant.

Frances Moore Lappé: Studs Terkel, Hope Dies Last

"There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free." -Walter Cronkite

“It is impossible for a person to begin to learn what he thinks

he already knows.” -Socrates
