I remember a time when going home was something hard to do; there were land mines everywhere. It was a place I carried shields in. Anger, hurt, sadnesss—it’s never those preliminary stages for long. In fact, one learns to dance in battlefields. Nothing is ever as beautiful as approach. Perspective can make a whole landscape of difference. What does it really mean to be renewed by...

He’ll be cross if he sees I have been crying. They don’t like you to cry. He doesn’t cry. I wish to God I could make him cry. I wish I could make him cry and tread the floor and feel his heart heavy and big and festering in him. I wish I could hurt him like hell. He doesn’t wish that about me. I don’t think he even knows how he makes me feel. I wish he could know, without...

for you.
Let them tell it—I’ve never been one for choosing lovers. Kinda like I was always discovering myself with them, like I was waiting to see what I could give with no return, what I could want with no shame. If the few lovers I’ve had live to tell of my loving, let it be unregrettable information. I hope I made them smile more than insecure. I always felt like I left them a little offering, a piece...

In my least confident moments, I believe shadows are meant to be our playmates. I know there are many a bride who wove her wedding dress with cobwebs, turned her tears to crisp champagne to water her guests and her hopes that things won’t always be this way. We settle and the secrets grow ripe…

Ornette Coleman. Paris, October 9, 1969
No, you can’t do nothin’ by yourself.
We live in a world where someone can ask who the richest man in the world is and be given a name. But you can’t name the poorest man in the world. They come in the millions. If you can do something by yourself, you are automatically above the others. What you must try to do is bring the ones who are down up to the level of what you believe...
