"She'll be drenched through", said Moominmamma. "Perhaps that won't matter much when one's invisible" Too-Ticky said and sat down by the table.

Let’s open our eyes,
the slave is not one who is chained,
but the one who does not think
nor has convictions.
You are a citizen
not by the mere act of voting,
but by your vocation
and commitment
to build a nation of solidarity.

- Pope Francis, 2013

„the places where dolmens stand used to be holy places for prehistoric people to figure their histories. A place where they felt the infinite external world, held and practiced all their rites of life and death, labor and play.“ Lee Ufan (p.257)

Last night
I begged the wise One to tell me
the secret of the world.
Gently, gently he whispered,
“Be quiet,
the secret cannot be spoken,
it is wrapped in silence.” - Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi (1207–1273)

Empathy as the foundation of intersubjective experience ... as the condition of the possibility of knowledge of the existing external world. (p.82) 

In feeling, it (the subject) experiences not only objects but itself; it experiences feelings coming from the depth of its Self (p.117)

Edith Stein Zum Problem der Einfühlung (On the Problem of Empathy), 1916/2021

Nothing exists outside the marketplace - Barbara Kruger

And Polo said: “The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of the inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.”
- Italo Calvino Le città invisibili 

The love of God is so powerful that no one can just sit on it. It is bound to express itself. We have to think not just of praying together but how we can reach out and support each other in helping those in prison, the homeless, the hungry, the oppressed, everyone in need. Above all, direct attention to the most unbearable problem in the world today, which is the destitution of the poor. Jesus said: “The poor you will always have with you.” But destitution is something else. That is our responsibility. It is not God’s will.… The Spirit may be asking the Christian denominations to join forces with each other and with the other world religions in addressing human needs and social issues. The God in us is calling us to serve the God in others. 
- Thomas Keating

The earth sustains humanity. It must not be injured; it must not be destroyed.
