Quote by Wayne Weiseman

“We have our favorite resources and things we gravitate toward: comfort food, say, or a favorite sentimental blanket. Of course, things change and many times those resources no longer provide us with everything we need. If we are to enjoy a diverse diet, we need diverse sources of information to guide us in making decisions. Valuing diversity in all things helps us build resilience and buffer the extremes.”

“Many times creatively responding to change immediately puts us on the edge of culture and friendships. People who ride the edge are marginalized until others accept the new reality and the new adaptation. Those with diverse points of view who are willing to make changes in their living systems and risk loss of status are crucial pioneers. How else can solution be adapted unless early adopters take the opportunity?”

“I have loved in life and I have been loved. I have drunk the bowl of poison from the hands of love as nectar, and have been raised above life's joy and sorrow. My heart, aflame in love, set afire every heart that came in touch with it. My heart has been rent and joined again; My heart has been broken and again made whole; My heart has been wounded and healed again; A thousand deaths my heart has died, and thanks be to love, it lives yet. I went through hell and saw there love's raging fire, and I entered heaven illumined with the light of love. I wept in love and made all weep with me; I mourned in love and pierced the hearts of men; And when my fiery glance fell on the rocks, the rocks burst forth as volcanoes. The whole world sank in the flood caused by my one tear; With my deep sigh the earth trembled, and when I cried aloud the name of my beloved, I shook the throne of God in heaven. I bowed my head low in humility, and on my knees I begged of love, "Disclose to me, I pray thee, O love, thy secret." She took me gently by my arms and lifted me above the earth, and spoke softly in my ear, "My dear one, thou thyself art love, art lover, and thyself art the beloved whom thou hast adored.”

“Sonnet of Promise I made a promise with my life, Never to leave your side. How can I maroon you my friend, When you and I are one light. Some call me muy loco, Cause I stand for reason and inclusion. A world where division is sanity, Is but a gutter of superstition. All things have meaning, When we have people next to us. Without their presence to fill our life, Existence is but a futile fuss. Breathing alone is like choking to death. A breath shared is a breath well lived.”

“I am loco for society - I am loco for humanity - I am loco for universal unity - and till the last breath in my body I'll work to make that universal unity a reality, regardless of whether I fail or not - where I leave off, someone else as loco as me will pick up and where they leave off, others will pick.”
