Learning Has To Come From Doing, Not

If You Only Had A Limited Time To Life (which Is Of Course The Case), How Would You Spend Your Time?

A Very Poor Kid Came Up To Me After A Talk And Said 'i Want To Go Blow Up A Factory.' I Asked How Old He Was And He Said 17. I Said 'have You Ever Had Sex?' He Said 'no.' I Said 'just Remember If You Get Caught You Aren't Going To Have Sex For Twenty Years At Least.' That's Not Saying That One Person Having Sex Is Worth The Salmon. I'm Not Saying It's A Reason Not To Act, I'm Saying Don't Be Stupid.

The Task We All Face As Human Beings ... Is To Find And Become Who We Are. The Task Teachers Face Is To Find Their Own Way Of Teaching, One That Manifests Who They Are.

When We Realize The Degree Of Agency We Actually Do Have, We No Longer Have To "hope" At All. We Simply Do The Work.

If We Celebrate Life With All Its Contradictions, Embrace, Experience, And Ultimately Live With It, A Chance Exists For A Spiritual Life Filled Not Only With Pain And Untidiness, But Also With Joy, Community, And Creativity.
