“In the wake of violence, acute or prolonged, we ask what we might need, how we might weather this time, how we might care for each other, how we might cultivate the space which encourages honesty, which encourages surrender. How we might build a small world, where we might feel beautiful, might feel free.”
― Caleb Azumah Nelson, Small Worlds

“We know death in its multitudes, but we’re all very serious about being alive.”
― Caleb Azumah Nelson, Small Worlds

“I long to be amongst the energy improvisation generates, to be housed in the small, beautiful world a handful of people make to house their joy and chaos and all.”
― Caleb Azumah Nelson, Small Worlds

“I don’t really know how to hold myself when I dance, but I do know how to surrender, how to let my body bend to the melody, like prostrating to something Godlike, something honest.”
― Caleb Azumah Nelson, Small Worlds
