Weaving Earth

“I think that love is a requirement of principled struggle, both self-love and love of others, that we must all do what we can, that it is better to do something rather than nothing, that we have to trust others as well as ourselves. I often repeat the adage that ‘hope is a discipline.’ We must practice it daily.”
