Zoe Nicholson has been standing in front of a room and in the public square with one message, WAKE UP.

“When the world begins to overwhelm you, it is because you are looking too far from your own path.  Do not grieve for those you do not know.  Do not suffer for those you cannot help.  Do not take into your heart the millions around the world.  Compassion is learned in the context of your individual life.  Respond fully and openly to those who present themselves to you.  They are the guardians and guideposts of your unique lessons.”
Zoe Nicholson, The Engaged Heart ~ An Activist's Life
