Fear Quote by Bethany Hegedus and Arun Gandhi
““Excellent! Humbling and enlightening and evoking hope...if only we could all live our lives like this..."that we each look inside to see where our anger, shame, and fear hides. And when we do so, that we lovingly channel those feelings into positive action. Each time we choose to act rather than react, to sit instead of strike, to listen instead of shout, we work to create peace. We help our world heal. Let us all learn to live our lives as light." (Bethany Hegedus and Arun Gandhi).””
