1 " All acts of kindness are lights in the war for justice. "
― Joy Harjo , The Woman Who Fell from the Sky: Poems
2 " It's possible to understand the world from studying a leaf. You can comprehend the laws of aerodynamics, mathematics, poetry and biology through the complex beauty of such a perfect structure.It's also possible to travel the whole globe and learn nothing. "
3 " I’m not afraid of loveor its consequence of light. It’s not easy to say thisor anything when my entrailsdangle between paradiseand fear. I am ashamedI never had the wordsto carry a friend from her deathto the starscorrectly. Or the words to keepmy people safefrom droughtor gunshot. The stars who were created by wordsare circling over this houseformed of calcium, of blood this housein danger of being torn apartby stones of fear. If these words can do anythingif these songs can do anythingI say bless this housewith stars. Transfix us with love. "
