I see children, all children, as humanity's most precious resource, because it will be to them that the care of the planet will always be left.
Alice Walker
Image
People are called 'stars' not only because they shine... because the qualities they exemplify are... eternal. We are attracted to their sparkle, their warmth, their light, but they will be forever distant from us. So distant we can never quite believe our inseparability. Never quite believe that we are also composed of the light they have.

The animals of the planet are in desperate peril... Without free animal life I believe we will lose the spiritual equivalent of oxygen.

Creation is a sustained period of bliss.
Alice Walker
Image
Laughter isn't even the other side of tears. It is tears turned inside out. Truly the suffering is great, here on earth. We blunder along, shredded by our mistakes, bludgeoned by our faults. Not having a clue where the dark path leads us. But on the whole, we stumble along bravely, don't you think?
Alice Walker

The most important question in the world is, 'Why is the child crying?'
Alice Walker
Image
The more I wonder, the more I love.
Alice Walker
Image
I don't know. I imagine good teaching as a circle of earnest people sitting down to ask each other meaningful questions. I don't see it as a handing down of answers.
Alice Walker
Image
I don't call myself a Buddhist. I'm a free spirit. I believe I'm here on earth to admire and enjoy it that's my religion.

Find yourself a cup of tea the teapot is behind you. Now tell me about hundreds of things. Saki Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors.

My great-great-great-grandmother walked as a slave from Virginia to Eatonton, Georgia... It is in memory of this walk that I chose to keep and to embrace my maiden name, Walker.
