“I love that moment. When you’re on a long car ride, or listening to music, or reading. And you completely zone out. You forget your troubles, and everyone around you. You’re focused on that one thing, and that one thing only. You’re content, and everything seems peaceful.”

To enshroud the mind, setting the sun on your life;

Or to pause for a moment... just enough to see the light.

“... Birth stripped our birth right from us, tore us from a woman, from women, from ourselves so early on and the whole chorus throbbing at our ears like midges, told us nothing, nothing of origins, nothing we needed to know, nothing that could re-member us.” -Michelle Cliff

“But in fact we were always like this, rootless, dismembered: knowing it makes the difference. Birth stripped our birth right from us, tore us from a woman, from women, from ourselves so early on and the whole chorus throbbing at our ears like midges, told us nothing, nothing of origins, nothing we needed to know, nothing that could re-member us.” -Michelle Cliff
