Aside from the fact that they say it's unhealthy, my fat ain't never been no trouble. Mens always have loved me. My kids ain't never complained. Plus they's fat.

Life is abundant, and life is beautiful. And it's a good place that we're all in, you know, on this earth, if we take care of it.

Guided by my heritage of a love of beauty and a respect for strength - in search of my mother's garden, I found my own.

Humans - whatever billions we are - we don't have the control. We are considered expendable, basically.

How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are, we must know our mothers names.

I write not only what I want to read...I write all the things I should have been able to read.

I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder.
