Who owns black pain?

Zadie Smith on Get Out. I saw the movie and it matters. I learned from Zadie Smith’s words about art, I want to remember this piece and this movie.

Desire by Alice Walker

My desire is always the same; wherever Life deposits me: I want to stick my toe & soon my whole body into the water. I want to shake out a fat broom & sweep dried leaves bruised blossoms dead insects & dust. I want to grow something. It seems impossible that desire can sometimes transform into devotion; but this has happened. And that is how I’ve survived: how the hole I carefully tended in the garden of my heart grew a heart to fill it.
