a.path.about.love.

thanks goes out to my dear friend soph who reminded me of the brilliance that is bell hooks. here's what bell hooks (her name is intentionally spelled without capital letters!) has to remind us all about today,
"If I were really asked to define myself, I wouldn't start with race; I wouldn't start with blackness; I wouldn't start with gender; I wouldn't start with feminism. I would start with stripping down to what fundamentally informs my life, which is that I'm a seeker on the path. I think of feminism, and I think of anti-racist struggles as part of it. But where I stand spiritually is, steadfastly, on a path about love."
