Aprendí a escuchar las noches
No pienso enterrar mis dolores,
Para que duelan menos,
Voy a sacarlos de dentro

No sé cuando volveré, no sé dónde llegaré,
No sé que me encontraré, no importa… no, no…

“Respect whatever pain you bring back
from your dreaming
but do not look for new gods
in the sea
nor in any part of a rainbow.
Each time you love
love as deeply
as if it were
forever
only nothing is
eternal.”

- Audre Lorde, “For Each of You” (excerpt)

Fri, 11 Nov 2011 10:48:12 -0500

“…There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do…It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

- Marianne Williamson

“We have begun to come out of the shadows; we have begun to break with routines and oppressive customs and to discard taboos; we have commenced to carry with pride the task of thawing hearts and changing consciousness. Women, let’s not let the danger of the journey and the vastness of the territory scare us — let’s look forward and open paths in these woods. Voyager, there are no bridges; one builds them as one walks.”

- Gloria Anzaldua

When I feel too grown up I want to regress. In lieu of doing so, I usually listen to this.

“When a cause comes along and you know in your bones that it is just, yet refuse to defend it—at that moment you begin to die. And I have never seen so many corpses walking around talking about justice.”

“

But of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talked about in the great outside world of winning and achieving and displaying.

The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.

That is real freedom.

That is being taught to think.

”

“And yet, New York remains a world city. It is not the great American city - that will always be Chicago. New York sits at the edge… It looks outward, and is thus attractive to people who would not feel comfortable further inland. It has never been American in the way that Paris is French: New York has always been about something else…”
