“Jamaica, British West Indies, has something else besides its mountains of majesty and its quick, green valleys. Jamaica has its moments when the land, as in St. Mary’s, thrusts out its sensuous bosom to the sea. Jamaica has its “bush.” That is, the island has more usable plants for medicinal and edible purposes than any other spot on earth. Jamaica has its Norman W. Manley, that brilliant young barrister who looks like the younger Pitt in yellow skin, and who can do as much with a jury as Darrow or Liebowitz ever did.”
—Zora Neal Hurston
“W, double I, spelled so you could see it
Cause its way over their heads when I Ray Allen 3 it
Im Rondo on the Bongos, when giving you my convo
We aint been home since you was snatched out The Congo
Toast to progress as Im staring out my condo” —pusha t.

Love Liberates
“I am grateful to have been loved and to be loved now and to be able to love, because that liberates. Love liberates. It doesn’t just hold—that’s ego.
Love liberates. It doesn’t bind.
Love says, ‘I love you. I love you if you’re in China. I love you if you’re across town.
I love you if you’re in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I’d like to have your arms around me. I’d like to hear your voice in my ear. But that’s not possible now, so I love you. Go.’” — Dr. Maya Angelou
