The poet or the revolutionary is there to articulate the necessity, but until the people themselves apprehend it, nothing can happen…Perhaps it can’t be done without the poet, but it certainly can’t be done without the people. The poet and the people get on generally very badly, and yet they need each other. The poet knows it sooner than the people do. The people usually know it after the poet is dead; but that’s all right. The point is to get your work done, and your work is to change the world.

had to call my mom as soon as I heard, she got really sad and said “you know, she was the soundtrack to my life.” hearing her music makes me think of being a kid, dancing in the kitchen with my mother. it makes me think of all the things happy and fun about becoming a woman.
RIP Donna Summer, we love you! I know you are still dancing!

Love is misunderstood to be an emotion; actually, it is a state of awareness, a way of being in the world, a way of seeing oneself and others.
