It is about the way we reach a point of communion as human beings sharing this difficult journey called life." / Pat Mora -- "My bottom line is always that I want to get better and better and better, which means keeping an open heart and an open mind." / Cherrie Moraga -- "I prefer books to people, ... [and] I am convinced that words can be used to color the world." / Mary Helen Ponce --
