I feel like a part of my soul has loved you
since the beginning of everything.
Maybe we’re from the same star.
Emery Allen

Pulled it from around the waist of the world
and draped it over her shoulder.
Zora Neale Hurston
Their Eyes Were Watching God
one of the pre-eminent writers of twentieth-century African-American literature

In every child who is born, under no matter what circumstances,
and no matter what parents, the potentiality of
the human race is born again.
