" I was taught that the search for truth and the search for justice are not incompatible and are, in fact, essential" - Gwen Iffil . .

In August 2009, I departed for my freshman year of college, and my Nana left to spend six months in Florida. We had never lived more than a handful of miles apart, and we held each other in the driveway and cried before I got into the car to go north. A few months later, she sent me this book, with a card telling me she had found it in a little bookstore and it reminded her of me. What serendipity. ✨🌿 The great and profound work of Mary Oliver has deeply impacted me in ten years since I unwrapped this book. In dark times, I have turned to her words for comfort, but more often I have looked to them to remember that joy and gratitude can be abundant, if we invite them. ✨🌿“Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” Oliver’s advice has become a guiding principle in my life and in my work. I feel her words in the very marrow of my bones, like drinking cold water from a spring, like the first light that warms your face after a long winter. Though I own other volumes of her work, this is one of my most prized possessions. ✨🌿 Rest in peace, wise woman. #maryoliver #poetry #wisewomen https://www.instagram.com/p/BsvpIoqn7IQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j13yos89gs0x

When you were born to talk… to shine… to be seen.. to be heard…you CAN’T be stopped. Unless they crucify me, like they did to Jesus! I’ve been reading more about me & my DNA learning who I am…. how? You might think 🤔 numerology & astrology our connection!!! It says I have many gifts … it says I have the gift of gab!!! ( because I know) it says I am a teacher… I am wise with much wisdom to share. So I needed my voice. It says I’m a healer.. so do my palms. ( more about that later) it says I know crystals, I can and do astral travel ( yes my it said that!!!) it said I would grow up without a mom!!! It’s amazing all I am learning and SUPER Exciting too. It’s really hard to accept all these about me. My family and religion taught me these gifts 🎁 I am BORN with just like the eyes I’m born with are evil and MAKE ME EVIL!!! Look at my eyes… do you really see it feel evil? NO I AM LOVE… not just KNOW IT IAM LOVE. The world has lost its love. I’m hear to bring it back ❤️❤️❤️💋 follow me also for more at Electravisionn.com on twitter and coming soon my own podcast 😘 then you can hear my sexy voice while you do your thing with your thang 😝 hehehe lol

The Persecuted In Purgatory: Wise Women Laugh Last "When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even of a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet, of some mute and inglorious Jane Austen, some Emily Bronte who dashed her brains out on the moor or mopped and mowed about the highways crazed with the torture that her gift had put her to. Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman." - Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own All the heroes of tomorrow are the heretics of today. - E.Y. Harburg The world is kept alive only by heretics: the heretic Christ, the heretic Copernicus, the heretic Tolstoy. Our symbol of faith is heresy. (“Tomorrow”) - Yevgeny Zamyatin If we have no heretics we must invent them, for heresy is essential to health and growth. - Yevgeny Zamyatin #wisewoman #wisewomen #witch #theinquisition #persecution #heretic #art #artist #illustration #illustrator #digitalpainting #drawing #mixedmedia
