Heaven Leavers

"A Christian should be able to go to the White House, a crack house, their momma's house or any house and come out with their integrity, vision, compassion, and commitment to justice intact.

If the Kingdom of God is within you, then everywhere you go you should leave a little heaven behind. People will know you to be a heaven leaver. You can learn to love your crooked neighbor with your own crooked heart because you're connected to a power and grace greater than your ego."

--Dr. Cornel West, Hope On A Tightrope, p. 78

I think facebook has hijacked my blogging

I can also blame things like school and the French Quarter. And the great weather.

At the moment I'm posting grades in my fav NOLA coffee shop. It's in an old bank. The bathrooms are in the old safe. The chairs are very conducive to working since they're pretty dadgum uncomfortable.

Am considering taking leave of responsibility and heading to the beach this weekend.

Some day

"Some day the load we're carrying with us may help someone. But even when we had the books on hand, a long time ago, we didn't use what we got out of them. We went right on insulting the dead. We went right on spitting in the graves of all the poor ones who died before us. We're going to meet a lot of lonely people in the next week and the next month and the next year. And when they ask us what we're doing, you can say, We're remembering. That's where we'll win out in the long run. And some day we'll remember so much that we'll build the biggest goddam steamshovel in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove war in and cover it up. Come on now, we're going to go build a mirror factory first and put out nothing but mirrors for the next year and take a long look in them."

--Ray Bradbury
