The World Has Done That Already - Possessed The Congo And Pillaged Her And Dominated Her And Robbed Her Of Agency And Occupation. Love Is Something Else, Something Rising And Contagious And Surprising. It Isn't Aware Of Itself. It Isn't Keeping Track. It Isn't Something You Sign For. It's Endless And Generous And Enveloping.

Freedom, That's The Kind Of Power I'm Interested In. When We Help Each Other Get Free, Then It's Not About Anybody Being On Top Or Anybody Being On The Bottom. It's About Being Together, In A Community.
