thoughts on alice walker
through the journey of life there'll always be nooks to explore...
Recently I read two quotations from Alice Walker and my soul froze for a millisecond...
"To me the black black woman is our essential mother--the blacker she is the more us she is-- and to see the hatred that is turned on her is enough to make me despair, almost entirely, of our future as a people"
"The gift of lonelinesss is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account"
-why these quotes spoke to me then is still a mystery but so is the hole they call the moon to the blanket they call the night sky...
