in the afterglow
of an evening raini lay down
in the grass
and think of youmy body aches
like an after-kissbreaking in soft fires
and wildflowersmy dear,
i will always be
this tender for you.
I shivered in those
solitudes
when I heard
the voice
of
the salt
in the desert.– Pablo Neruda
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty or democracy?
- Mahatma Gandhi
“Life is filled with unanswered questions, but it is the courage to seek those answers that continues to give meaning to life. You can spend your life wallowing in despair, wondering why you were the one who was led towards the road strewn with pain, or you can be grateful that you are strong enough to survive it.”
-J.D. Stroube, Caged by Damnation
“[M]en, though they know full well how much women are worth and how great the benefits we bring them, nonetheless seek to destroy us out of envy for our merits. It’s just like the crow, when it produces white nestlings: it is so stricken by envy, knowing how black it is itself, that it kills its own offspring out of pique.”
-Moderata Fonte
I took this shot at an Anti-Sharia Law Rally in Syracuse, New York. This lovely specimen of hate had just screamed out “FAT NIGGER BITCH!!”
(it was at least two exclamation points worth)
at a young lady across the road who was shouting something just as enlightened and intelligent back at her. She noticed me staring at her and she said:
“Sorry, Brother.”
America. You got jokes.
– Eliot
