Those they only use, tie, bind, chop off and leave empty. Love your hands! Love them. Raise them up and kiss them.

More than your life-holding womb and your life-giving private parts, hear me now, love your heart. For this is the prize." (Beloved, "Baby Suggs", p.82)
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."(~Marianne Williamson)
