Birth Place: Earth Race: Human Politics: Freedom Religion: Love

Scott Maxwell
Casper ter KuileCasper ter Kuile

I wonder why love is so often equated with joy when it is everything else as well. Devastation, balm, obsession, granting and receiving excessive value, and losing it again. It is recognition, often of what you are not but might be. - Florida Scott-Maxwell

"In the Psalms, the pain is brought to speech. When the pain is brought to speech, it turns into energy. If pain isn’t brought to speech, it turns into despair. That means that the people who make a difference are the people who bring the pain to speech." - Walter Brueggemann
