bell hooks coming in with her trademark honesty, cutting to the heart of the matter.

May we open our ears and eyes – our hearts, even – to the world around us, while trying our best to abstain from judging that very same world. May we be led with curiosity instead of contempt. For observation on its own is a powerful, holy thing.

Human ingenuity and technology has given us better weapons and more inventive ways to kill each other – but still we wait for similar upgrades when it comes to how we relate to each other.

May tomorrow's sunrise find us doing the work we've always been called to.
