"When it is all too much; when the news is so bad meditation itself feels useless, and a single life feels too small a stone to offer on the altar of Peace, find a Human Sunrise.

But they are working to bring peace, light, compassion, to the infinitely frightening downhill slide of Human life."

And yet, in our particular society, it is the narrowed and narrowing view of life that often wins."
"People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually, that people progress, but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don't."
