“wrap me up / unfold me”

[lifeinpoetry]

The bigness of the world is redemption. Despair compresses you into a small space, and a depression is literally a hollow in the ground. To dig deeper into the self, to go underground, is sometimes necessary, but so is the other route of getting out of yourself, into the larger world, into the openness in which you need not clutch your story and your troubles so tightly to your chest. Being able to travel both ways matters, and sometimes the way back into the heart of the question begins by going outward and beyond.

Rebecca Solnit, from “Mirrors,” The Faraway Nearby (via lifeinpoetry)

If I had one super power

It would be the ability to change OTHER people (not myself) into a different race.

I’d immediately select 5 white people and turn them black and be like, hold that for 20 years and come back to me with a full report of your experiences.

If we’re being honest I think that that’s the only way to relay the seriousness of what’s going on in America today.
