“This is my charge to everyone:
We have to be better,
we have to love more and hate less.
Listen more and talk less.
It is our responsibility
to make this world a better place.”
~ Megan Rapinoe
“Maybe you think someone
doesn’t have a lot on their plate compared to you.
But maybe, their plate is smaller than yours
and doesn’t have a lot of room to begin with.
Or maybe, their plate is paper,
and their flimsy plate can’t hold as much
as your sturdy ceramic plate.”
“Encouraging a child to go outside
in all weather builds resilience,
but more importantly it saves them from
spending their life merely tolerating the “bad” days
in favor of a handful of “good” ones
– a life of endless expectations and conditions
where happiness hinges on sunshine.”
~ Nicolette Sowder
“You must find the courage
to leave the table,
if respect is no longer being served.”
“You are only limited to
what you push yourself to,
you know.
You can always do better.”
~ Lindsey Vonn
This Land Is Your Land
This land is your land This land is my land
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and Me.
As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway:
I saw below me that golden valley:
This land was made for you and me.
I’ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said “No Trespassing.”
But on the other side it didn’t say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
~ Woody Guthrie
