"lumbering our minds with literature..."

"Somewhere between prayer and revolution....:"

"This is what we were all doing, lumbering our minds with literature that only served to cloud the really vital situation spread before our eyes...I am simply smothered and sickened with advantages. It is like eating a sweet dessert the first thing in the morning. This, then, was the difficulty, this sweet dessert in the morning and the assumption that the sheltered, educated girl has nothing to do with the bitter poverty and the social maladjustment which is all around her, and which, after all, cannot be concealed, for it breaks through poetry and literature in a burning tide which overwhelms her." -Jane Addams, Twenty Years at Hull-House

Update


So, I haven't written in a long time. What is going on:

*Protest at Vazirani's court appearance Wednesday morning.


*GirlSprout revolution. No more palm oily cookies/ being hunted down by rabid cookie consumers as I walk Asher.

*Monthly meetings with my adviser trying to finish this school thing by June.

*"The peace of God, it is no peace, but strife closed in the sod/ yet let us pray for but one thing/the marvelous peace of God" -hymn at church this morning

*Goats bleating nonstop. About half of the time they are actually bleating, the other half it is in my head.

*Trying to get more organized around the house.

*Sunday morning coffee dates with Brian.

*Teaching Beloved, which is one of those novels you pray that you will one day be worthy to teach.

*Nail polish.
