To Crush a Serpent (excerpt) - James Baldwin
Salvation
is not flight
from the wrath of God;
it is accepting
and reciprocating
the love of God.
Salvation is not separation.
It is the bringing of union
with all that is
or ever will be.
The Way In - Linda Hogan
Sometimes the way to milk and honey is through the body. Sometimes the way in is a song. But there are three ways in the world: dangerous, wounding and beauty. To enter stone, be water. To rise through the hard earth, be plant, desiring sunlight, believing in water. To enter fire, be dry. To enter life, be food.
