"Stories differ from advice in that, once you get them, they become a fabric of your whole soul. That is why they heal you. ~ Alice Walker
I have learned not to worry
about love but to honor its coming with all my heart.
In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful. ~ The Color Purple
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Our mothers and grandmothers, some of them moving to music not yet written. And they waited. ~ In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens
Live in freedom and joy, in love and surprise. ~ Cushion in the Road
No person is your friend (or kin) who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow and be perceived as fully blossomed as you were intended. Or who belittles in any fashion the gifts you labor so to bring into the world. ~ In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
I don't know how to fight. All I know how to do is stay alive.
Guided by my heritage os a love of beauty and a respect for strength--in search of my mother's garden, I found my own. ~ In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens
The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account. ~ The World Has Changed: Conversations
Books became my world because the world I was in was very hard.
Every small, positive change we can make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.
