“I still have a scrap of paper given to me by Vincent Harding, a speech writer for Martin Luther King Jr. I was a young woman wrestling with questions about my future—could I be both a spiritual seeker and a social activist?

Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.'”—Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder of the Omega Institute and author, most recently, of Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow

I’ve received lots of useful advice, although I haven’t always seen it for what it is at the time. One of the sweetest bits of advice was given to me by my brother after my heart had been broken. He told me to keep my chin up and my heart open, encouraging me not to give up on life or love.
