Only to the extent that man exposes himself over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible arise within him.

Poet Alice Walker reads the 1851 speech of abolitionist Sojourner Truth on Novemeber 11, 2006 in Berkeley, California. The speech was originally delivered at the Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio.
“That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain’t I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain’t I a woman?
Then they talk about this thing in the head; what’s this they call it? [member of audience whispers, “intellect”] That’s it, honey. What’s that got to do with women’s rights or negroes’ rights? If my cup won’t hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn’t you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?
Then that little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men, ‘cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back , and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.”

For All We Know
“For all we know we may never meet again
Before you go make this moment sweet again
We won’t say good night until the last minute
I’ll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know.”
Sam M. Lewis

Super Christ Me. Every Sunday, TV congregations numbering tens of millions tune in to salvation sermons broadcast from mega-churches filled with thousands upon thousands of followers. Sure, televangelism is shallow, manipulative, money-driven. But isn’t everything in pop culture (think Top 40 music, fast food, reality TV) just vacuous drivel designed for material gain? Maybe McJesus televangelism is just as valid a religion as any. But the real question is, can millions of couch-bound American souls survive on it alone? Who are we to point the finger at someone’s spiritual diet and say it’s time for some ecclesiastic exercise? Is televangelism an acceptable method of ministry to the masses?

I hate to describe my reaction to this with a cliche, but it truly feels like a breath of fresh air to my eyes.
