  1. Terry Tempest Williams _ The Open Space of Democracy

    This is what I have learned in these short weeks in the refuge:You cannot afford to make careless mistakes, like meditating in the presence of wolves, or topping your boots in the river, or losing a glove, or not securing your tent down properly. Death is a daily occurrence in the wild, not noticed, not respected, not mourned. In the Arctic, I've learned that ego is as useless as money. Choose one's travel companions well. Physical strength and prudence are necessary. Imagination and ingenuity are our finest traits.Expect anything.You can change your mind like the weather.Patience is more powerful than anger. Humor is attractive than fear.Pay attention. Listen. We are most alive when we are discovering.Humility is the capacity to see.We are meant to live simply.We are meant to live joyfully.Life continues with and without us.Beauty is another word for God.
