Why not and why not me?
Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds

This Shakespeare
Here is a love sonnet by Shakespeare that used it irritate me - I thought it was an ode to the blind love of the stalker, a love that cannot admit to being unrequited. On recent rereading, I see I was wrong - it's about love ...

Audre Lorde - There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.
(blog entry)
We must recognize and nurture the creative parts of each other without always understanding what will be created.
You have to learn to love yourself before you can love me or accept my loving. Know we are worthy of touch before we can reach out...

A friend sent me this poem
(blog entry)
There have always been women who
remember the old ways.
Women who hold within them
the memory of a time
in the beginning
when Woman was honored.
Women who refuse
to worship the gods,
to learn the language,
to take the names
of the F...

what a poem!
(blog entry)
Wild nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile the winds
To a heart in port,—
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart.
Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor

Thoreau revisited
(blog entry)
When I first read Walden, it made a huge impression on me - such purity - such solitude. Then I realized he wrote to show his friends, to publish, to put himself above and apart. Hmmm...

Here is a love sonnet by Shakespeare that used it irritate me - I thought it was an ode to the blind love of the stalker, a love that cannot admit to being unrequited. On recent rereading, I see I was wrong - it's about love over time.

Sonnet 116

Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,

We must recognize and nurture the creative parts of each other without always understanding what will be created.
You have to learn to love yourself before you can love me or accept my loving. Know we are worthy of touch before we can reach out for each other. Not cover that sense of worthlessness with "I don't want you" or "it doesn't matter" or "white folks feel, Black folks DO."
The energies I gain from my work help me neutralize those implanted forces of negativity and self-destruct...

There have always been women who
remember the old ways.
Women who hold within them
the memory of a time
in the beginning
when Woman was honored.
Women who refuse
to worship the gods,
to learn the language,
to take the names
of the Fathers.
Women who refuse to twist
their female bodies into shape
and definitions,
who transcend limitations.
Women who love their bodies.
Women who refuse to please others
by becoming smaller than they are.
Women who take space

Thoreau said "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
I sez - "I came out of the woods because I wished to live ...
