The people have the power. All we have to do is awaken the power in the people.

Let gratitude be awakened; let humility be deepened; let love be quickened.

Silence is an empty space, space is the home of the awakened mind.

Part of spiritual and emotional maturity is recognizing that it’s not like you’re going to try to fix yourself and become a different person. You remain the same person, but you become awakened.

Each new moment presents an opportunity for conscious choice. We can choose to let go of the past. We can choose to be here now. We can choose to accept responsibility for ourselves. We can choose to awaken. Or we can choose to remain asleep and unconscious.

Black lives shouldn’t have to end for people to awaken to racism.
