More From Seth

A god who draws near out of love, the holy father continued, walks with his people, and this walk comes to an unimaginable point. we could never have imagined that the same lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in his church, present in the eucharist, present in his word, present in the poor, he is present, walking with us. and this is closeness: the shepherd close to his flock, close to his sheep, whom he knows, one by one.
Love Father Sheep
Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... what is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
Love Is Opposites Justice
Man can only be certain about the present moment. but is that quite true either? can he really know the present? is he in a position to make any judgment about it? certainly not. for how can a person with no knowledge of the future understand the meaning of the present? if we do not know what future the present is leading us toward, how can we say whether this present is good or bad, whether it deserves our concurrence, or our suspicion, or our hatred?

I used many times to touch my own chest and feel, under its asthmatic quiver, the engine of the heart and lungs and blood and feel amazed at what i sensed was the enormity of the power i possessed. not magical power, but real power. the power simply to go on, the power to endure, that is power enough, but i felt i had also the power to create, to add, to delight, to amaze and to transform.

It is unfortunately none too well understood that, just as the state has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own. all the power it has is what society gives it, plus what it confiscates from time to time on one pretext or another, there is no other source from which state power can be drawn. therefore every assumption of state power, whether by gift or seizure leaves society with so much less power; there is never, nor can be, any strengthening of state power without a corresponding and roughly equivalent depletion of social power.
Giving Assumption Social
We indians do not teach that there is only one god. we know that everything has power, including the most inanimate, inconsequential things. stones have power. a blade of grass has power. trees and clouds and all our relatives in the insect and animal world have power. we believe we must respect that power by acknowledging it's presence. by honoring the power of the spirits in that way, it becomes our power as well. it protects us.

I wish i could just go tell all the young women i work with, all these fabulous women, 'believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. own your own success.' i wish i could tell that to my daughter. but it's not that simple.

I believe the first draft of a book — even a long one — should take no more than three months…any longer and — for me, at least — the story begins to take on an odd foreign feel, like a dispatch from the romanian department of public affairs, or something broadcast on high-band shortwave duiring a period of severe sunspot activity.
Believe Book Long
The country is headed toward a single and splendid government of an aristocracy founded on banking institutions and moneyed incorporations and if this tendency continues it will be the end of freedom and democracy, the few will be ruling...i hope we shall...crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government to trial and bid defiance to the laws of our country. i sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.
