"I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and sword in my hands."
--Zora Neale Hurston
This happens to be one of my all time favorite quotes from American folklorist Zora Neale Hurston. She managed to pull apart our minds with the wit and "spunk" of flavorful words full of passionate prose that told stories of good times, hard times, and everything in between.
When I examine my own pen as the flowing ship drawn to the beacon of light that is Hurston's legacy, I realize how important embracing her message of cultural continuity through vast and vibrant introspection of the world is.
Thought for the day: My cerebral ink should stain the masses. My hope is that the spot doesn't fade.
