"Moon marked and touched by sun my magic is unwritten but when the sea turns back it will leave my shape behind. I seek no favor untouched by blood unrelenting as the curse of love permanent as my errors or my pride I do not mix love with pity nor hate with scorn and if you would know me look into the entrails of Uranus where the restless oceans pound. I do not dwell within my birth nor my divinities who am ageless and half-grown and still seeking my sisters witches in Dahomey wear me inside their coiled cloths as our mother did mourning. I have been woman for a long time beware my smile I am treacherous with old magic and the noon's new fury with all your wide futures promised I am woman and not white." - Audre Lorde 'A Woman Speaks' . Let's let this celestial embrace happening in the heavens inspire a deeper look within to realign ourselves. . #moontouchedandmarkedbysun #audrelorde #eclipse2017 #eclipse #moonshine #moonmagic #sun #stars #celestial #magic #blackwomen #writers #poetry #poetsofinstagram #sky #dayturnedtonight #typographyinspired #houseplants #leomoon #moontouched #sunmarked (at Bay Ridge, Brooklyn)

~ International Workers Day ~ "The great social justice changes in our country have happened when people came together, organized, and took direct action. It is this right that sustains and nurtures our democracy today. The civil rights movement, the labor movement, the women's movement, and the equality movement for our LGBT brothers and sisters are all manifestations of these rights." - Dolores Huerta . Only in recognizing our collaborative power can we as a people shape a society devoid of inequality. .
