rest in power & peace, bell hooks
my bedroom walls are covered with the words, wisdom, & love from bell hooks. feminism is for everybody is one of the first books on feminism my mom ever gave me & one of the main texts we learned from in our 9th grade english classroom. all about love continues to teach my partner and I how to love, how to keep choosing one another, how to keep nurturing each other’s souls.
rest in peace & power, bell hooks. rest well. we love you. we are grateful. thank you.
text on image 2 says: “Awakening to love can happen only as we let go of our obsession with power and domination… A love ethic presupposes that everyone has the right to be free, to live fully and well… We do this by choosing to work with individuals we admire and respect; by committing to give our all to relationships; by embracing a global vision wherein we see our lives and our fate as intimately connected to those of everyone else on the planet… living ethically ensures that relationships in our lives, including encounters with strangers, nurture our spiritual growth.”
