Writing to Wake the Soul Quotes

“try reading out loud the list of animals that have already gone extinct in recent years. Read it slowly, as the solemn tribute that it is, naming those unique beings that will never walk the earth or swim the seas or fly the skies again: there’s the sea mink and the short-tailed hopping-mouse, the Toolache wallaby and the pristine mustached bat, just to name a few; the Mascarene parrot, the silver trout, and the desert bandicoot; the Atlantic gray whale and the broad-faced potoroo.”

“I like to think of love as an inner leaning, a kind of magnetic pull not only toward another person but also into a larger wholeness in which we all belong. Love is a longing to return to our original connectedness and oneness, a calling to remember the shared stardust of which we are all made.”
