‘When just one person engages life with sincere giving and receiving… it has an affect on others. It has an effect whenever someone engages in actions that support others rather than only fulfilling their personal desires. Every time a person bears witness to the unfolding of conditions and events with patient equanimity, puts forth energy and action based on well-meaning intentions, or turns toward silence and stillness to see clearly what is, ripples out into the world.’ (Deep Hope)
