Saul Williams ...


I think I should aim at nothing more than ridding myself of lying, negative attitudes, trying to control how other people see me, overconcern about what others think of me, dishonest expression of emotions, trying to possess that which isn’t mine, false humility, lack of discipline: physically, mentally, spiritually and of all that leaves me incapable of giving and receiving love ... Simply, I don’t have to try to be a poet or how I imagine a poet should or would be ... I don’t even have to write, as long as I am honest to each moment rather than to ideas of myself ...


Zora Neale Hurston ...



There are years that ask questions ...

She's still got some life in her ... 
Treat her right while she's here ...

I saw its inner pattern and felt the beat of its pulse in the white loneliness and beheld all that had been hidden from me but a moment ago ... And I knew that all the answers are but waiting for us while we, poor fools, ask questions and wait for the secrets of God to open themselves up to us ... When they, all the while, are waiting for us to open ourselves up to them ...
