Revkin, in After Preservation Can we continue to do the hard work of coming together in the name of both community and land? Can we even do more of it? My guess is that we can because, if we pause to listen and honestly reflect, most of us believe that community and land are both sacred, that both must be honored. — Charles F. Wilkinson, in Stitching the West Back Together How do we awaken from the dream of separateness, from an abiding sense that the chasm that exists between us cannot be reconciled? For it would seem that the gulf in our present age could not be wider between “Us” and “Them.” How do we tame the status quo that lulls us into blindly accepting the things that divide us and keep us from our own holy longing for the mutuality of kinship—a sure and certain sense that we belong to each other? — Gregory Boyle in Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship
