You have stared into the abyss and named its teeth. Now, call forth your light, not as a weapon, but as a torch. You do not walk alone, you never did. You are not becoming someone new, you are remembering who you were before the world told you to forget. ~The White Wolf

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I watched 60 minutes last night about the men who have disappeared and have been taken to El Salvador. It made me nauseous and I shedded many tears.

I never thought I’d see America deliberately physically treat human beings so horribly.

This is unacceptable. Something must give & soon!!

Feel like I've spent good quality time with the kids this wkend & that feels good- like I can feel it in my body that it matters & it's what I want to do more of. Just simple times together- in the woods, in the garden, making stuff, reading adventure stories. So important to appreciate these times.

You’ve carried the spark through your darkest days. That’s not weakness, that’s warrior spirit. The path is hard, but it’s real. And real growth always blooms again. Spring is rising in your soul. ~The White Wolf

The past is heavy, but it does not define you. How you rise does. Every step forward is a step toward transformation. Do not fear change, fear standing still. Keep moving. ~The White Wolf

You are not trapped—you are transforming. Some days will feel heavy, but you don’t need all the answers. Just take the next step, no matter how small. Your path is unfolding. Trust it. ~The White Wolf
