Feminist thinking teaches us all, especially, how to love justice and freedom in ways that foster and affirm life.

Commitment to truth telling lays the groundwork for the openness and honesty that is the heartbeat of love.

I think stress is anything going on in our lives that impinges on our capacity to have optimum well being.

Today masses of black women in the U.S. refuse to acknowledge that they have much to gain by feminist struggle. They fear feminism. They have stood in place so long that they are afraid to move. They fear change. They fear losing what little they have.

A distinction must be made between that writing which enables us to hold on to life even as we are clinging to old hurts and wounds and that writing which offers to us a space where we are able to confront reality in such a way that we live more fully. Such writing is not an anchor that we mistakenly cling to so as not to drown. It is writing that truly rescues, that enables us to reach the shore, to recover.

Feminism as a political movement has to specifically address the needs of men in their struggle to revolutionize their consciousness.

Spirituality and spiritual life give us the strength to love.
