Alien Galaxies: 

From where I’m standing, correct me if I’m wrong but it feels like we’re hurtling towards each other

Two of the most formidable forces that we’ve ever known 

Or maybe I’m just attaching myself to this grand cosmic tale to pass the time 

And to make it less painful, I think we’re going to miss eachother

“First, she cut her hair. That was one thing she didn’t want to have to think about anymore. Then she tackled the problem of trying to decide how she wanted to live and what was valuable to her. When am I happy and when am I sad and what is the difference? What do I need to know to stay alive? What is true in the world?”

— Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon

TOUCHING PEOPLE’S LIVES IN A POSITIVE WAY IS AS CLOSE AS I CAN GET TO AN IDEA OF RELIGION.

BELIEF IN ONE’S SELF IS ONLY A MIRROR OF BELIEF IN OTHER PEOPLE AND EVERY PERSON.

-KEITH HARING JOURNALS, AGE 28

“The great Mystics tend to recognize that Whoever God is, he or she does not need our protection or perfect understanding. All of our words, dogmas, and rituals are like children playing in a sandbox before infinite Mystery and Wonderment. If anything is true, then it always has been true; and people who sincerely search will touch upon the same truth in every age and culture, while using different language, symbols, and rituals to point us in the same direction. The direction is always toward more love and union–and in ever widening circles.”

— Richard Rohr

“It’s so wonderful being a gay person. I love being gay. And I love gay people. I think we’re better than other people. I really do. I think we’re smarter and more talented and more aware and I do, I do, I totally do. And I think we’re more tuned in to what’s happening, tuned into the moment, tuned into our emotions, and other people’s emotions, and we’re better friends. I really do think all of these things. And I try not to forget them.”

— Larry Kramer in a truly extraordinary speech “The Tragedy of Today’s Gays”: http://www.towleroad.com/2004/11/larry_kramer_sp/
