I think it's better that people actually are saying what they feel. Especially, people are saying, I'm not heard. I don't have a voice in America.

There is no one alive who has not wanted to go back to sleep.
Elizabeth Lesser
We think that maybe feminism isn't appropriate anymore, since Western women have really made enormous strides. But check out the rest of the world if you'd like to not be able to sleep tonight.

See what's happening to our sisters around the world. I'm very interested in the protection of women globally.
Elizabeth Lesser
But when I learned about the dangers of rejection or attack, I thought, it's time to change this. What if we faced any pain we had caused each other and, instead of rejection or attack, could we listen? Could we forgive? Could we merge?
Elizabeth Lesser
I know that if we allow ourselves into the gridlock of tribalism, we're in trouble.

I can only do what I do with a spirit of humor, and faith and give the controls over to something else.
Elizabeth Lesser
I have built up so much stuff , I am afraid I would cry forever, or have to go to sleep for weeks, or I would want to make some changes, and it is all just so overwhelming that we just keep going and going and going. It's a problem. It creates all kinds of illnesses of the physical and mental kind.
Elizabeth Lesser
It's not always about survival, this life we are given it's usually so much easier than that. It's about trusting the eternal life force that is flowing within us-letting that force lead the way through all of the inevitable changes we will face across the span of our time here on Earth.
Elizabeth Lesser
Love is the secret you unmask yourself to find it is the foundation of the spiritual life, the destination where all roads of the journey lead.
Elizabeth Lesser
What will matter is the good we did, not the good we expected others to do.
Elizabeth Lesser
I'm very committed to my family and my town. My biggest local commitment are my children, my husband, my home and my grandchildren.
Elizabeth Lesser
We have little control over the outer weather patterns as we make our way through the landscape of a life. But we can become masters of the inner landscape. We can use what happens on the outside to change the way we function on the inside.
Elizabeth Lesser
What mothers do - they act with love, at least good mothers do! They have a spirit of strong, fierce, protective energy - the way a mother would put her life on the line for her children - we need to put our life on the line for each other.
Elizabeth Lesser
The soul is the river of energy that animates who we are.
Elizabeth Lesser
Every day we're given a choice: We can relax and float in the direction that the water flows, or we can swim hard against it. If we go with the river, the energy of a thousand mountain streams will be with us . . . if we resist the river, we will feel rankled and tired as we tread water, stuck in the same place.
Elizabeth Lesser
Life is about change, it never stops, it's moving and it's moving this human body inexorably towards its demise.
Elizabeth Lesser
I'm not naive. I know how hard it is to get along.
Elizabeth Lesser
Whatever is happening, whatever is changing, whatever is going or not going according to my plans - I release my hold on all of it. I leave behind who I think I am, who I want to be, what I want the world to be. I come home to the great peace of the present moment.
