wakefulness

7/2/2020

[There are] pleasures that are free
or without a permanent cost.
These are the pleasures that we take in our own lives,
our own wakefulness in this world,
and in the company of other people + other creatures-
pleasures innate in the Creation
+ in our own good work.
It is in these pleasures that we possess the likeness to God
that is spoken of in Genesis.
[God looked upon all that God had created + saw that it was very good. Genesis 1:31]
~Wendell Berry

work

Do not wait:
the time will never be 'just right'.
Start where you stand,
+ work with whatever tools you have at your command
+ better tools will be found as you go along.
~Napoleon Hill

strength

In this world there are two great sources of strength.
One rests with those who are not afraid to kill.
The other rests with those who are not afraid to love.

The beauty of anti-racism
is that you don't have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist.
Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism
wherever you find it, including in yourself.
And it's the only way forward.
~Ijeoma Oluo

choices

6/5/2020

History is calling the future from the streets of protest.
What choice will we make?
What world will we create?
What will we be?
There are only two choices:
racist or anti-racist.

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer + the wounded.
It's a relationship between equals.
Only when we know our own darkness well
can we be present with the darkness of others.
