Our society is so hell-bent on expansion, power, and efficiency at all costs that the folks like [my daughter] Tish -- like me -- are inconvenient. We slow the world down. We're on the bow of the Titanic, pointing, crying out, "Iceberg! Iceberg!" while everyone else is below deck, yelling back, "We just want to keep dancing!" It is easier to call us broken and dismiss us than to consider that we are responding appropriately to a broken world.
-- Glennon Doyle, Untamed, p. 16
