successful thinking giving
I think for me, happiness is crucial, but I think we think that happiness comes from amassing goods and getting things and being loved and being successful, when in fact my experience of happiness comes when you give everything away, when you serve people, when you’re watching something you do make somebody happy - that’s when happiness happens.
far-away coming-back being-afraid
Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back.
heart blow boys
I feel sometimes with boys that the tyranny of patriarchy has had a much more devastating blow on boys than it has on anyone. Because they have literally been forced to disassociate from their hearts.
body radical can-do
One of the most radical things women can do is to love their body.
reality thinking doors
I think so much of my early life, even though I grew up White and middle class, I was completely shattered by the horrifically violent atmosphere I grew up in. I am a consequence of violence. That opened a door to many realities that I would not have experienced had I not survived what I did.
life strong stars
Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here. Believe in kissing.
heart thinking earth
I think many of us get separated from the mothership - our body - early on. I think the mothership is also the Earth, and life itself. Trauma separates us from that and dissociates us from our hearts.
fighting compassion mad
An activist is someone who cannot help but fight for something. That person is not usually motivated by a need for power or money or fame, but in fact is driven slightly mad by some injustice, some cruelty, some unfairness, so much so that he or she is compelled by some internal moral engine to act to make it better.
believe fighting people
Good is towing the line, being behaved, being quiet, being passive, fitting in, being liked, and great is being messy, having a belly, speaking your mind, standing up for what you believe in, fighting for another paradigm, not letting people talk you out of what you know to be true.
space dancing together
Dancing insists we take up space, and though it has no set direction, we go there together. Dance is dangerous, joyous, sexual, holy, disruptive, and contagious and it breaks the rules. It can happen anywhere, at anytime, with anyone and everyone, and it's free. Dance joins us and pushes us to go further and that is why it's at the center of ONE BILLION RISING.
best bounce five last maybe sure time win
I'm sure we'll bounce back. We always do. In our provincials we had to win our last five to do it. Maybe it's not our time here, but we'll give it our best shot.
bounce five games last sure win
I'm sure we'll bounce back but if we lose, we lose. At provincials, we had to win our last five games to win it so we always bounce back.
closest core further near potent women
closest to the core contaminated. They live near the reactor; their contamination is the most potent and consuming. As you get further away from the reactor, women are contaminated but not to the degree.
admit annoying couple games perfume personally teams wear
It was for a couple of games I have to admit because there's a couple of teams that like to wear it. I don't personally wear much perfume so it was annoying a bit.
