Wait awhile in the stillness, and do not rush to conclusions, no matter how uncomfortable the unknowing.””<br/><br/> - <em>Maurice Blanche, from the novel “Maisie Dobbs” by Jacqueline Winspear</em>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/51281894437http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/51281894437Sat, 25 May 2013 01:10:51 -0400quotesmaisie dobbsjacqueline winspear truth“Dominant systems maintain and reproduce themselves because the dominant group is rarely challenged to think of its dominance. One of the characteristics of power and privilege is the ability to go unexamined…lacking introspection, and in fact, being rendered invisible in the discourse about issues that are primarily about them. […] men are erased from the conversation […] even how our language is structured conspires to keep our attention off men.”<br/><br/> - <em>Jackson Katz in his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTvSfeCRxe8">TEDTalk</a></em>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/50101874329http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/50101874329Fri, 10 May 2013 14:28:00 -0400rapegender violenceJackson Katzsystems of oppressionTED“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.”<br/><br/> - <em>Milton Berle</em>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/43872256687http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/43872256687Sun, 24 Feb 2013 01:12:47 -0500quotesMiltonBerleopportunities“For every word intended to render us deaf to one another, there is always a lyric connecting ears and hearts across the continents in rhyme.”<br/><br/> - <em>Sarah Jones</em>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/42645173961http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/42645173961Sat, 09 Feb 2013 00:44:00 -0500quotesmusicsarah jones“The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel.”<br/><br/> - <em>Horace Walpole</em>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/42644407275http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/42644407275Sat, 09 Feb 2013 00:31:53 -0500quoteshorace walpole<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maw4hpzUQ31ryp1c2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong><a href="http://500px.com/photo/12404845">Frosty sunset</a></strong> by <strong><a href="http://500px.com/vartpilot">Vladimir Melnikov</a></strong></p> <p>Enjoyed today’s blustery snow day.

You shouldn’t worry about prestige. Prestige is the opinion of the rest of the world. […] Prestige is like a powerful magnet that warps even your beliefs about what you enjoy. It causes you to work not on what you like, but what you’d like to like.”<br/><br/> - <em>Paul Graham</em>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/40310529741http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/40310529741Fri, 11 Jan 2013 23:19:00 -0500quotesPaul Grahamprestigedo what you loveself-reflection<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/62af6fd6a4e3b5a346bf1f52f3ba8fa2/tumblr_mg40v3N3Om1rtd0rfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/39662991275http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/39662991275Fri, 04 Jan 2013 11:37:00 -0500lovequotesself-reflectionMarc HackMarc Chernoff“In the chaos there is a standard<br/> I’m carrying it like a banner<br/> It’s around me in my surroundings<br/> It counts me when it starts the counting<br/> In the chaos there is a standard<br/> I’m carrying it…”<br/><br/> - <em>Lights</em>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/39317755668http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/39317755668Mon, 31 Dec 2012 12:57:16 -0500Lightsmusicspiritlyrics<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Rz0Azlrtwic?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/39317444761http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/39317444761Mon, 31 Dec 2012 12:52:00 -0500musicLightsBanner“We were ill-lit ships at night, passing close but all unknown to one another.”<br/><br/> - <em>Patrick Rothfuss from <em>The Name of the Wind</em></em>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/38039229485http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/38039229485Sat, 15 Dec 2012 23:48:00 -0500Patrick RothfussName of the Windquotes<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/azd3xD_1h-c?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Oh Maker by Janelle Monae</p>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/37949308823http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/37949308823Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:59:00 -0500Oh MakerJanelle MonaeArchandroidmusic“We are not sure that speaking out saves people but we are certain that silence kills.”<br/><br/> - <em>Philippe Biberson</em>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/37889039352http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/37889039352Thu, 13 Dec 2012 23:43:00 -0500quotesPhilippe BibersoninjusticeIMFactivism<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/14769b007ea1636d14a63eba316e48e0/tumblr_mf07delZGK1rtd0rfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photo from <a href="http://timflach.com/">Tim Flach Photography</a></p>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/37888501764http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/37888501764Thu, 13 Dec 2012 23:34:00 -0500Tim Flachphotographybluescales<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e69e4e8686662fd478bf11d80b079330/tumblr_mf07c9Snym1rtd0rfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Photo from <a href="http://timflach.com/">Tim Flach Photography</a></p>http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/37888460046http://mylightningtree.tumblr.com/post/37888460046Thu, 13 Dec 2012 23:33:00 -0500Tim Flachphotography<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jna2r56EXTg?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>I Look To You by Miami Horror feat.
