I am on the cusp of change and the curve is shifting fast.

Out of my flesh that hungers and my mouth that knows comes the shape I am seeking for reason.

African tradition deals with life as an experience to be lived. In many respects, it is much like the Eastern philosophies in that we see ourselves as a part of a life force; we are joined, for instance, to the air, to the earth. We are part of the whole-life process. We live in accordance with, in a kind of correspondence with the rest of the world as a whole. And therefore living becomes an experience, rather than a problem, no matter how bad or how painful it may be.

I am a bleak heroism of words that refuse to be buried alive with the liars.

The transformation of silence into language and action is an act of self-revelation .

Silence has never brought us anything of worth.

I have died too many deaths that were not mine.
