Sunday Inspiration: Privilege
Sometimes privilege looks like being able to ignore a crisis that others are dying from.
—Blair Imani
Sunday Inspiration: Everyday Magic
I do believe in an everyday sort of magic—the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.
—Charles de Lint
Sunday Inspiration: Tears
There are many things that can only be seen through eyes that have cried.
—Oscar Romero
Sunday Inspiration: Words
Words are sacred. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones, in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
—Tom Stoppard
Sunday Inspiration: Laughter
Laughter is the hand of God on the shoulder of a troubled world.
—Grady Nutt
Sunday Inspiration: Purpose
Sunday Inspiration: Power
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.
—Alice Walker
Sunday Inspiration: Progress
Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.
—Plato
Sunday Inspiration: Moral Anger
Our anger is moral. Our rage is sacred. Our anxiety contains wisdom. Our hearts are telling us the truth. If the truth makes others uncomfortable—good. Show me an alarm clock that makes a sweet sound and I’ll show you an alarm clock I can sleep through.
—Ralph De La Rosa
Sunday Inspiration: The Best We Can
Some days, doing “the best we can” may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn’t perfect—on any front—and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.
—Fred Rogers
