A Voice from the South ~Anna Julia Cooper (19th Cent. Educator, Activist, Proto-womanist)

Only the BLACK WOMAN can say "when and where I enter, in the quiet, undisputed dignity of my womanhood, without violence and without suing or special patronage, then and there the whole Negro race enters with me."

Never Too Late!

Don't let anyone or thing tell you what you cannot do or what it is too late to do, not even the broken tape playing in your head! Write your own story!

Personal Reflection

Sometimes I have put my feet up, when I should have "put my foot down"; I've said "yes" when I should have said "no" and said "no" when I should have said "yes." Good news: It is never too late to change!

Women

They were women then
My mama's generation
Husky of voice--stout of
Step
With fists as well as
Hands
How they battered down
Doors
And ironed
Starched white
Shirts
How they led
Armies
Headragged generals
Across mined
Fields
Booby-trapped
Ditches
To discover books
Desks
A place for us
How they knew what we
Must know
Without knowing a page

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883) Abolitionist, Proto-Womanist ~ 1851 Speech

"I am a woman's rights...Why children, if you have woman's rights, give it to her and you will feel better. You will have your own rights, and they won't be so much trouble. I can't read, but I can hear, and I have heard the bible and have learned that Eve caused man to sin. Well, if woman upset the world, do give her a chance to set it right side up again..."

WE ALONE

We alone can devalue gold

by not caring

if it falls or rises

in the marketplace.

Wherever there is gold

there is a chain, you know,

and if your chain is gold

so much the worse for you.

Feathers, shells

and sea-shaped stones

are all as rare.

This could be our revolution:

to love what is plentiful

as much as

what's scarce. ~ Written by Alice Walker

Inspiration

"You have nothing to dance about until you are over the age of 30." — Bert Balladine ~ Experience (lessons learned, goals achieved, challenges overcome) is a reason to dance or learn to dance and not an excuse to sit down.

Thinking...

Dare we think and speak as if we come so near to God as to know the very thoughts of God when we cannot even know our own nor the thoughts of those we see and speak with everyday?

Peering from my bed at the window contemplating my next move. A grayscale image of blackish horizontal spider veins lines my pane against drab. Whose staring at who, really? God always occupies the best seat; the perfect view that is only God's.
