Self-Reliance

I have no home: I make awareness my home.

I have no life or death: I make the tides of breathing my life and death.

I have no sword: I make absence of self my sword.

I have no eyes: I make the lightning flash my eyes.

(14^th century samurai)

I freed a thousand slaves.

I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.

(Harriet Tubman)
