Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.

I believe I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future. I know who and what holds the future. I trust that beyond this space and time, all is well, and all will be well.

How can you say you're trying to spiritually evolve, without even a thought about what happens to the animals whose lives are sacrificed in the name of gluttony?

Be quiet. Part of your responsibility is to honour the quiet inside yourself so you can hear the call.

I really feel a sense of responsibility first as a creation of a force that I call God, that's bigger than myself. And because I'm black, I feel the responsibility to that. I feel the responsibility to my womanness. But more importantly, I feel a responsibility to my humanness.

What dogs? These are my children, little people with fur who make my heart open a little wider.

Can you see me? Can you hear me? Does anything I say mean anything to you?
