More From Rebecca Solnit

The trouble is that millennials and many recent products of the public schools believe that america was made great, if they're even taught that it's great, if they're taught that it's great, you know what they're told is the reason? diversity. there's diversity all over the world. you can go to places where there is diversity out the wazoo, folks. you can go to places all over the place world and you can find the most diversity, you can find perfect diversity, however you find it. you will not find a united states.

The organic gardener does not think of throwing away the garbage. she knows that she needs the garbage. she is capable of transforming the garbage into compost, so that the compost can turn into lettuce, cucumber, radishes, and flowers again...with the energy of mindfulness, you can look into the garbage and say: i am not afraid. i am capable of transforming the garbage back into love.
Flower Thinking Looks
A society that puts equality - in the sense of equality of outcome - ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality or freedom. the use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom. on the other hand, a society that puts freedom first will, as a happy by-product, end up with both greater freedom and greater equality. freedom means diversity but also mobility. it preserves the opportunity for today's less well off to become tomorrow's rich, and in the process, enables almost everyone, from top to bottom, to enjoy a richer and fuller life.

When we think of design, we usually imagine things that are chosen because they are designed. vases or comic books or architecture... it turns out, though, that most of what we make or design is actually aimed at a public that is there for something else. the design is important, but the design is not the point. call it "public design"... public design is for individuals who have to fill out our tax form, interact with our website or check into our hotel room despite the way it's designed, not because of it.
Book Thinking Design
You have two gardens: your own garden and that of your beloved. first, you have to take care of your own garden and master the art of gardening. in each one of us there are flowers and there is also garbage. the garbage is the anger, fear, discrimination, and jealousy within us. if you water the garbage, you will strengthen the negative seeds. if you water the flowers of compassion, understanding, and love, you will strengthen the positive seeds. what you grow is up to you.
Art Buddhist Flower
Where man had been, in every place he left, garbage remained. even in his pursuit of the ultimate truth and quest for his god, he produced garbage. by his garbage, which lay stratum upon stratum, he could always - one had only to dig - be known. for more long-lived than man is his refuse. garbage alone lives after him.
