“Don't be afraid of your fears. They're not there to scare you. They're there to let you know that something is worth it.”
C. JoyBell C.

“The precepts are: to not create evil to practice good to practice good for others”
Angel Kyodo Williams, Being Black: Zen and the Art of Living with Fearlessness and Grace

“We all feel shame when we’re sitting on the cushion and stuff pops up in our head.”
Angel Kyodo Williams, Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love, and Liberation

“Love is an action, never simply a feeling.”
bell hooks

“This is a huge evolutionary leap: to be able to see past sameness and likeness as the lens through which we view our potential to care for and love one another. We've done this on the individual level, but we are now organizing on the social level. In many ways this goes against - or extends beyond - the grain of how we have been evolving. Biologically speaking, we are programmed toward beingttribal as a means of survival. We literally have to transcend an aspect of our own biology.
This ability to disrupt our programming and form new cognitive connections based on direct experience that then becomes embodied through repetition -- practice - is one of human beings' greatest attributes. In this lies the potential to overcome our basest reactions for survival and manifest our highest evolutionary potential to thrive. It is profound, and it is possible and we can see it.
May it be so.
Insha'allah
Svaha
Amen”
Angel Kyodo Williams, Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love, and Liberation
