The Love Expressed Between Women

Next Time, Ask: What's The Worst That Will Happen? Then Push Yourself A Little Further Than You Dare.

I Am Not Just A Lesbian. I Am Not Just A Poet. I Am Not Just A Mother. Honor The Complexity Of Your Vision And Yourselves.

Every Woman I Have Ever Known Has Made A Lasting Impression On My Soul.

My Fullest Concentration Of Energy Is Available To Me Only When I Integrate All The Parts Of Who I Am, Openly, Allowing Power From Particular Sources Of My Living To Flow Back And Forth Freely Through All My Different Selves, Without The Restriction Of Externally Imposed Definition.

How A Diamond Comes Into A Knot Of Flame How A Sound Comes Into A Word, Coloured By Who Pays What For Speaking. Some Words Are Open. Love Is A Word Another Kind Of Open — As A Diamond Comes Into A Knot Of Flame I Am Black Because I Come From The Earth's Inside. Take My Word For Jewel In Your Open Light.
