Quote of the...

" [speaking of slavery] I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or to speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; – but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest – I will not equivocate – I will not excuse – I will not retreat a single inch – AND I WILL BE HEARD. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead."

– William Lloyd Garrison, “To the Public,” from the Inaugural Editorial in the 1 January 1831 The Liberator

Dust

You know if I could realize that I was just dust, I would wait for the wind to blow; instead of try to move myself. Can dust even move itself?. Water could be helpful because then it would at least bind me to some more dust. For my first one off the cuff, what do you think? Come Mighty Wind and blow. Let the Living Water flow. Move me where you wish, bind me to who you will. It sounds pretty, now the question is, will I wait, will I let it happen?
