A Path

“If I were really asked to define myself, I wouldn’t start with race; I wouldn’t start with blackness; I wouldn’t start with gender; I wouldn’t start with feminism.
 I would start with stripping down to what fundamentally informs my life, which is that I’m a seeker on the path.
I think of feminism, and I think of anti-racist struggles as part of it.
But where I stand spiritually is, steadfastly, on a path about Love.”
― bell hooks

The Love cry

Stand up

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
Anaïs Nin

Stand your ground.

Every
oak tree
started out
as a couple of nuts
who stood their ground.
