“I don't think you can create art out of anger; it has to come out of some form of understanding. You have to feel good about who you are and that you could do something to change things.” -Faith Ringgold

“Wait, for now.

Distrust everything if you have to. But trust the hours. Haven’t they carried you everywhere, up to now?

Personal events will become interesting again. Hair will become interesting. Pain will become interesting.

Buds that open out of season will become interesting.

Second-hand gloves will become lovely again; their memories are what give them the need for other hands. The desolation of lovers is the same: that enormous emptiness carved out of such tiny beings as we are asks to be filled; the need for the new love is faithfulness to the old.

Wait . Don’t go too early. You’re tired. But everyone’s tired.

But no one is tired enough.

Only wait a little and listen:

music of hair, music of pain, music of looms weaving our loves again.

Be there to hear it, it will be the only time, most of all to hear your whole existence, rehearsed by the sorrows, play itself into total exhaustion.”

If you’re feeling lonely… Get in the arena. Make the first move. Invite people to coffee. Start a book club in your neighborhood. Be the friend to someone else you wish you had for yourself. Yes, you may get hurt. Strive valiantly for friendships. We’re made for them.
