Earthen wanderings (from a barefoot introvert) under a tree...
"The white fathers told us, "I think, therefore, I am" and the black mother within each of us – the poet – whispers in our dreams, I feel, therefore I can be free."- Audre Lorde
"So my toe can curl & become a snail & go curiousely on its way...."
Im a peace-monging, anti-capitalist , queer-positive, anti-racist, visionary feminist, vegetarian and poet warrior, who lives in a new monastic intentional commmunity, likes glitter, drinks mint ginger tea, and quietly adores dandelions, eggplants and snails.
i spend most of my days reading about revolution. and eating uncouth vegetables in public spaces.
i try to follow the teachings of a homeless rabbi, and somtimes when the moon is right, i dance barefoot in dirt.
"So the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate, or for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice?... Pherhaps, the nation & the world are in dire need of creative extremists"- MLK jr.
dear sweet mollusc friend, i wonder what you dream of...
I am not free while any (wo)man is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own. And I am not free as long as one person of Color remains chained. Nor is any one of you” - Audre Lorde
it was a wednesday night, slouched dispassionately on the step of blockbuster when i realized i was still broken. with no intention of going inside, i sat there as if naked. painfully and fearfully aware of my own shameful and helpless disposition. of all places to mourn, why there. why in the comfortless drone of a cities night did i find refuge. amid the shadows of parked cars i cried. i hate moments like these. when im exposed. and when i realize, in the most ridiculous places at the most unexpected of times that the process of healing is almost more painful and certainly more difficult than the very experience of raw brokenness itself.
