“The Alexander Technique will benefit anyone whether they are an elite athlete or whether they just wish to live life without the aches and pains that many people suffer and accept as part of life.

“Naturally and logically, people who forage rather than herd domestic beasts and tend crops for a living - that is, people who depend utterly on wild as opposed to agriculture nature for their welfare - inevitably come to view themselves as merely an element of it all, one member of an egalitarian community, alternately eating and being eaten.” PeopleCommunityViewsDependsMembersElementsEatingWelfareBeastAgricultureCropsHerds Author:David Petersen
“I dream of a world where people from different backgrounds are praying and working for the flourishment of communities different from them, and I find my sustenance not only in these stories in scripture, but in stories of human existence also - the story of the Bosnian Muslim man who took to a Serbian couple with a new baby a liter of milk every day during that horrible struggle in the former Yugoslavia, because he said even if our tribes, our nations, are at war with each other, there is something deeply human about me wishing that your baby survives and is secure.” PeopleIfsMenWorldHumansSaidDifferentWarStoriesDreamNationsWishCommunityExistenceStruggleBabyPrayingCoupleScriptureBackgroundsHorribleSecureFormerMilkTribesHuman ExistenceSustenanceNew BabyYugoslaviaDifferent BackgroundsBosnians Author:Eboo Patel
