“BLACKNESS is trouble. Blackness is Absence. Blackness is a hole. Black-ness is that which has gone wrong. “Let there be light!” The cry is taken as literal in the antiblack world. The antimiscegnation law is ontological in its purpose—-protect the light from the darkness. Power and Will channel themselves toward light. The Hebrew God is quite paradoxical. He said, “Let there be light”, so we ask, Was He then situated in darkness?…..God is either white and good or not good at all and hence all black….From the standpoint of the Black who has rejected God, an awful lot of black people seem to be quite misguided. They embrace myths which on the deepest level regard them as obscene. From the standpoint of these myths black people don’t even suffer. How can black suffering be taken seriously if blacks are NOT even regarded as members of the universal, as members of humanity…. The most faithful is he who can embrace a spiritual paradox. So an awful lot of black people are faithful and quite paradoxical. They are aware of who God is, and they worship Him anyway.”

“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.”
because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about appreciation.” —Osho (via ceedling)
