Terrance grows long rows of crops for food and seed saving at La Mott Community Garden, in Cheltenham Township, just a few blocks northwest of Philadelphia. For more than 80 years community gardeners have been lovingly tending to this land where black soldiers had been trained for the Civil War, and where Harriett Tubman would stop at Lucretia Mott's home on her courageous and visionary trips bringing black families to freedom on the Underground Railroad. The garden had been owned by Temple University for many years, and was recently sold to a new owner, and so the garden's future is uncertain. Terrence brought his extra sweet potato slips (they look like Maple Leaf!), lima bean seeds, and string bean seeds to the Philadelphia Seed Exchange library seed swap last night, which followed the Vacant Land 215 workshop led by Kirtrina Baxter of Soil Generation and Garden Justice Legal Initiative. Hopefully we will all work together to find justice for this land and the gardeners and community members who care for it! #gardenjustice #lamottcommunitygarden #lamott #harriettubman #lucretiamott #seedkeeping #seedsaving #sweetpotatoslips #soilgeneration #philadelphiaseedexchange #communitygarden #communitygardens (at Oak Lane Branch - Free Library of Philadelphia)

So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work. Write straight into the emotional center of things. Write toward vulnerability. Risk being unliked. Tell the truth as you understand it. If you’re a writer you have a…

“Our true person is outside of time and space.... My inside self is outside of time and space. It doesn't have an age. I'm every age I've ever been, and so are you.” —Anne Lamott

Here's how I became myself: mess, failure, mistakes, disappointments, and extensive reading; limbo, indecision, setbacks, addiction, public embarrassment, and endless conversations with my best women friends; the loss of people without whom I could not live, the loss of pets that left me reeling, dizzying betrayals but much greater loyalty, and overall, choosing as my motto William Blake’s line that we are here to learn to endure the beams of love.
