1. brave is a poem that came to me this past Sunday evening. Words are funny in a way for me; they come tapping at my brain unannounced, and I have to lend them the attention they are seeking to move forward with my day/night.
I think if more of us were brave enough to love hard–truly love at our most vulnerable and genuine selves, we’d get rid of some of the tragedies that befall this world. I am still praying and hoping we can move toward this form of bravery.
2. A James Baldwin quote … if you’re not familiar with Sir James Arthur Baldwin, I am unsure of how to give you the details you need to become familiar with a forceful voice, poetical talent, and literary icon who only graced this earthly space for sixty years.
He was an activist and outspoken about the various racist acts that plagued our nation and world during his time. If you couldn’t glean where he was coming from by reading his work, you could definitely feel his passion and understand his dedication to righting the wrongs that were in place by watching some of the interviews he agreed to do.
I’ll leave you a snippet from one of his interviews below so you can see for yourself.
