WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES when we go against our instincts? What are the consequences of not speaking out? What are the consequences of guilt, shame, and doubt?
Terry Tempest Williams

Terry Tempest Williams
Beauty is transformed over time, and not without destruction.
Terry Tempest Williams
Hope radiates outward from the center of our concerns. Hope dares us to stare the miraculous in the eye and have the courage not to look away.
Terry Tempest Williams
I love the interrelatedness of things.
Terry Tempest Williams
If you take away all the prairie dogs, there will be no one to cry for the rain.
Terry Tempest Williams
We mask our needs as the needs of others.
Terry Tempest Williams
Revolution is not something outside of us, but inside us, begging for our engagement every single day.
Terry Tempest Williams
What I mean by An Unspoken Hunger. It's a hunger that cannot be quelled by material things. It's a hunger that cannot be quelled by the constant denial.
Terry Tempest Williams

Terry Tempest Williams
