The dead have been awakened — shall I sleep? The worlds at war with tyrants — shall I crouch? the harvests ripe — and shall I pause to reap? I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch; Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear, its echo in my heart. – Lord (George Gordon) Byron
We are losing our living systems, social systems, cultural systems, governing systems, stability, and our constitutional health, and were surrendering it all at the same time. – Paul Hawken
