“When a girl is a little stormy, a man like me wants to follow behind you with an umbrella.” Tayari Jones

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
Bruce Lee

EXCERPTS>>> “That the native does not like the tourist is not hard to explain. For every native of every place is a potential tourist, and every tourist is a native of somewhere. Every native everywhere lives a life of overwhelming and crushing banality and boredom and desperation and depression, and every deed, good and bad, is an attempt to forget this. Every native would like to find a way out, every native would like a rest, every native would like a tour.
But some natives—most natives in the world—cannot go anywhere. They are too poor. They are too poor to go anywhere. They are too poor to escape the reality of their lives; and they are too poor to live properly in the place they live, which is the very place you, the tourist, want to go—so when the natives see you, the tourist, they envy you, they envy your ability to leave your own banality and boredom, they envy your ability to turn their own banality and boredom into a source of pleasure for yourself.” Jamaica Kinkaid >>A Small Place

“John Steinbeck’s novel “East of Eden” was an instant hit in 1952. The New York Times declared it one of the year’s “popular smashes,” and Elia Kazan’s 1955 big-screen adaptation.
This June, the “Heated Rivalry” star Hudson Williams caused a flutter when he said he was reading it in advance of the new Netflix mini-series. Now that adaptation, created by Zoe Kazan, granddaughter of Elia, and released on Oct. 1, is more widely renewing interest in Steinbeck’s sprawling Cain and Abel tale.” NY Times Article by @candor_isa_virtue

“Lorde’s work expands, deepens and enriches all of our understanding of what feminism can be. But what about conflict between poetry and theory? Between their separate and seemingly incompatible spheres. We have been told that poetry expresses what we feel and theory states what we know. That the poet creates out of heat of the moment. While the theorist mode is of necessity, cool and reasoned. That one is art and therefore experienced subjectively. And the other is fellowship held accountable in the world of ideas. We have been told that poetry has a soul and theory has a mind and that we have to choose between them.”
