“It occurred to me shortly after that that it was an absolute necessity for me to declare homosexuality, because if I didn't I was a part of the prejudice. I was aiding and abetting the prejudice that was a part of the effort to destroy me.”

“Individuals often turn to poetry, not only to glean strength
and perspective from the words of others, but to give birth
to their own poetic voices and to hold history accountable
for the catastrophes rearranging their lives.”

“On the surface, I was bullied for being effeminate, articulate, overweight, well-read, interested in recreations and matters non-traditional for black boys or even black people--essentially for being myself. To be hounded for merely existing in one's own skin is not unique to blacks, but at least during Jim Crow we could turn to one another. In modern-day terrorism, we turn on one another, with limited options for sanctuary.”

“If you think, This is it,” that will plant the seed of attachment to an object. If the seedling of conceit appears, it will grow into the tree of samsara. In brief, rest the mind without thinking, “This is it!” Rest the mind without thinking, “This isn’t it!” The mind’s thoughts of “is” and the mind’s thoughts of “isn’t” are two mutually dependent fixations. If there is absolutely no “is” at all, then there will be absolutely no “isn’t” at all.”
