Hello, I'm Superwoman. Can You Help Me Find My Car Keys?

I run at a frenetic pace: up by 6:00; drop off daughter at school after driving 35 miles; drive another twenty in Atlanta traffic; work; pick up at 6:00. Then, my commute home, often punctuated with a trip to pick up groceries, an obscure component of an art project, or a stray animal from the clutches of death. Finally, I’m home at 7:00-ish. My to-do list: feed kid; feed dog; explain to kid why I

“Use the talents you’ve developed to create goodwill, to ease the burdens of those who are not as fortunate and to seek truth humbly, without insisting that you hold the only keys to it.”
Laura Burroughs

“Stories can make us remember—or forget—who we are. They have the power to topple governments or build empires. They are the life and breath of the dead and the treasure of those yet to be born.”
Laura Burroughs, The Foxes of Caminus

“What I've come to learn is that the world is never saved in grand messianic gestures, but in the simple accumulation of gentle, soft, almost invisible acts of compassion.”
Chris Abani

“A concept is a brick. It can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window.”
Gilles Deleuze, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

“All that you touch
You Change.

All that you Change
Changes you.

The only lasting truth
is Change.

God
is Change.”
Octavia E. Butler

“Use the talents you’ve developed to create goodwill, to ease the burdens of those who are not as fortunate and to seek truth humbly, without insisting that you hold the only keys to it.”
