““We are not the only country that becomes way more progressive or regressive depending on who gets into office. This is the way of the world. Your vote matters. Whatever your reasons, whatever your objections, you're not a part of our political process unless you vote. All politics is local, all politics is national, all politics is global.””

“I think there is a place where hopefulness and hopelessness co-exist, one of my beloved contradictory co-existing realities (what others call a paradox, but paradoxes can be mis-defined themselves, not owning their true contrari-ness and/or co-existence): something like joy-and-hope-in-the-process-of-being-and-becoming, something like awareness-of-distant-goals-without-attachment-to-getting-them, something like satisfaction-in-dissatisfaction. Like riding a roller coaster, being and feeling where it is and feeling where it's going all at…
