It Bears Repeating

Quote it. Note it. Share it. Repeat.

Real security is not knowing something when you don't know it.

Real security cannot be bought or arranged or accomplished with bombs. It is deeper. It is a process. It is the acute awareness that we are all utterly interdependent and that one action by one being in one town has consequences everywhere.

Real security is the ability to tolerate mystery, complexity, ambiguity--indeed hungering for these things.

Freedom is not knowing where you are but being deeply there.
Not waiting for someone to save or rescure you or heal your terrible past but doing that for yourself.
Not putting your flag in the ground.
Being willing to get lost.


--Eve Ensler
