“Love that stretches with every tug and pull can make perfectly good use of life’s twists and turns. Those tight crevices and folds within that tangled rope lay host to a slew of brand new love growth. And no matter how much time is spent stretching or what distances are travelled, a love capable of stimulating new growth over the old is a love capable of withstanding even the weakest twine rope.”
While taking the time to honor slain civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, I want to also acknowledge his close friend, advisor, and the central organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, the openly gay - Bayard Rustin. Today, the fight for equal rights isn’t resigned to one particular race or one particular cause. Civil rights issues are human rights issues. If a civil liberty is denied, that denial must be addressed. If the necessary measures to address an injustice mirrors another time in our history, when society was forced to address slavery’s ugly past, and the fruits of slave labor, then so be it. Dr. King’s dream of economic democracy and international human rights is a battle that still wages. Poverty, racism, sexism, and homophobia run rampant. Keeping in mind that no community should work for justice only for itself, we must remember that what’s vital is that all forms of prejudice are rejected. If not, they will strengthen, and eventually revisit, further altering the legacy left behind for us.
“She grooves like a gently worn record with notches all abound. As my needle finds and unwinds the soundtrack to her mind, I am home-bound.”
“For me, love is not an experiment or temporary experience; it is a way of life. There is absolutely nothing simple about love. It must be nurtured if it is to grow. It must be genuine if it is to show. Love is nature’s all natural and the most powerful medicine we will ever know.”

“It’s funny how everyone’s a socialist except for conservatives, who use the emotions of her citizens as weapons of mass disturbance. All the while they’re so convinced that their deceit is innocent. And use the legislative process to draft laws based on ill intent.”

“Your heart begged mine to fight without vain for what I could only describe as being — a heartfelt carpe diem for two. For hearts were seized that day; ours two.”

“She sees me in a beauty I’ve never once adorned and this vivid contemplate makes my love go crazy at the thought of her passionate intensity lingering within me day to day.”
