We often fear that the Revolution needed is too big for what we can give. Too much change is required inside, outside. And we are too small. But all that is required is that you step into the truth of your life. And speak it, write it, paint it, dance it. That you shine your light on your truth, for the world to see. And as hundreds, then thousands, then millions do this — each sparking the courage of yet more — Suddenly we have a world alight with truth. . Lucy H. Pearce
About This Quote

Nothing in nature is small. The stars shine, the sun rises, and wind blows through the trees. Just like everything else in nature, we can use the power of our voices to create change in our own lives and surroundings. When we shine our light on our truth, we can show others how we really feel and let them see that we aren’t afraid to be who we really are.

Our truth can come in many forms: in writing, through art, or simply by speaking up. All of these ways of sharing our truth have been used by the people of the world throughout history to bring about big changes for the better.
