snugglekittyI'm not done with this book, but I wanted to write about it.
Reading it is making me feel like crying. I feel sad that I ever lost hope about things changing.
Anyway, here's a quote that I thought was really beautiful:
"...when God wants an important thing done in this world or a wrong righted, He goes about it in a very singular way. He doesn't release thunderbolts or stir up earthquakes. God simply has a tiny baby born, perhaps of a very humble home, perhaps of a very humble mother.. The great events of this world are not battles and elections and earthquakes and thunderbolts. The great events are babies, for each child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged with humanity, but is still expecting goodwill to become incarnate in each human life."
Substitute Goddess for God, and this is why I work with birth.
