but from my heart's gluttony of you. — Muse

We are, all of us, exploring a world none of us understands ... searching for a more immediate, ecstatic, and penetrating mode of living ... for the integrity, the courage to be whole, living in relation to one another in the full poetry of existence. The struggle for an integrated life existing in an atmosphere of communal trust and respect is one with desperately important political and social consequences ... Fear is always with us, but we just don't have time for it.

But if I've learned anything, it is that goodness prevails, not in the absence of reasons to despair, but in spite of them.
