The quote I chose from this reading is “No rock scorns me as a whore The earth means exactly what it says The wind is without flattery or lust Greed is balanced by the hunger of all So I embrace anew, as my childhood spirit did, the whispers of a world without words”
I really liked this quote. The author is right in that no matter what, you’re not going to be able to please everyone, and that they will always have something to criticize you on. However, judgement isn’t present in nature, and I think it’s so important to be connected to it. It alleviates pressure felt by the expectations and unfair judgements of others.

I completely agree with you that this us a great quote. I think that judgement is definitely something an individual should be connected with for positive reasons and negative. Living with the fear of being judged by others is a horrible way to live and once one realizes that the opinions of others do not matter (most of the time).
