Here I am, a product of something really vicious, product of the Atlantic slave trade. And yet, I give nary a thought to some of the awful things happening right now in the world.

I used to want to be a backup singer. Not a lead singer, because I really can't sing.

What I don't write is as important as what I write.

I've come to see that I'm saying something that people generally do not want to hear.

I love planting. I love digging holes, putting plants in, tapping them in. And I love weeding, but I don't like tidying up the garden afterwards.

Like father like son, like mother like daughter!

Habit gives endurance, and fatigue is the best night cap.
