| Rivera Sun author of The Dandelion Insurrection is originally from Maine |
I'm almost finished reading the book The Dandelion Insurrection by fellow Mainer Rivera Sun who now lives in New Mexico. I thought I'd share a few of her golden words from the book.
"We've been taught greed," Zadie told people. "We were sold consumption as a measure of our worth, but look around you! When you have nothing, you are still worth more than the millions of dollars locked up in a bank! Money is a pale substitute for the riches of our hearts. Hidden within our greed is our longing for something greater; something money cannot buy and products cannot deliver. We want to love and be loved. We want to share a meal together. We want shelter from the storm. We want peace. We want joy."
"Spit out your enslavement to a culture of greed," Zadie said. "Feel that addiction leaving your body. Then raise your head high and walk onwards. You are one step closer to freedom!"
Look within. Leaders reflect the courage or the fear that already lies inside us. Cast out fear, grasp courage, and move forward.
We must show them that the greatest force on earth is not the government, not the corporations, and not the military ... the greatest force on earth is the love of the people for each other!
Her latest book is called Billionaire Buddha.
