Marriane Williamson Quotables

1. You are in God.
2. There is no time, no place, no state where God is absent.
3. Love does not conquer all, but it sets all things right.
4. Again -nothing you do or think or wish or make is necessary to establish your worth.
5. God has lit you mind Himself, and keeps your mind lit by His light because His light is what your mind is.
6. The ego is literally a fearful thought.
7. Faithlessness is not lack of faith but faith in nothing.
8. Your holiness reverses all the laws of the world. It is beyond every restriction of time, space, distance, and limits of any kind."
9. The Holy Spirit's temple is not a body, but a relationship.
10. Only love is real.

Fireworks

(Me calling this piece "fireworks" has nothing to do with my pyro tendancies. I just wanted to write/see the word.)

I remember the day Tupac died.
I can home listening to it on the radio.
We traveled in a black car then, -to LeFore HS and back. (-red bumber)
September.

Leaves fell.
I scurried inside to see it on TV
and I still DON'T believe it.

Brief Intro

Do you want to hear a story?
It's about a young girl.
It's about a young woman.
It's about a young lady, who
was born in the South.
Deep South.
Deeper.
Now bag back a bit.
Yes, just there.
In Alabama.

She has dark skin.
She has tough skin.
She learns with her eyes, and doesn't always listen.
She was born in the late 80s.
1980s.
She is "hear" with you, in this poem.
With these words she'll tell you the story of her life.
A story that has barely begun but has a HAPPY ENDING.

She's from Mobile.
She's from Prichard.
She's from Eightmile.
She's from America.
She was born free and didn't know it.

Her education was
parents, televeision, school, friends, teachers, cousins, aunts, and distant-distant folk.
-and nearby-distant folk.

Have you heard of her?
Franchesca lived.
Franchesca lives.
Franchesca Taylor.
Franchesca ReNita Taylor.
Whole.
Hold.
Hold her warmly in your thought.
Thank-you.
