Quote #1169 - #HellFreezesOver
20 Jan, 2025
HELL FREEZES OVER
"Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"We will fight until hell freezes over--and then we will fight on the ice."
Roland S. Martin
(among others--also attributed to Jewel Vertner Woodson Tandy, Dutch Meyer, and William Gannaway “Parson” Brownlow)
"The journey to Truth itself
Is what quickens the heart to become lighter.
The lighter the heart, the purer it is.
The purer the heart, the closer to light it becomes.
And the heavier the heart,
The more chained to this hell
It will remain."
Suzy Kassem
FEATHERWEIGHT
A freeze has taken over the land.
Fitting.
Prophetic.
A freeze with layers and dimensions
Ecologically, politically,
and in my heart.
I cannot bear to watch today's proceedings
(on MLK Day, no less)--
the selfish hopefulness of those who've been played,
the glee of those who've played them.
But in the greatest hell--
in the fiercest freeze--
the search for truth
focuses,
the struggle for change
empowers,
the quest for understanding and connection
opens our hearts,
the creative venture
dances within and without,
and we find a way.
We will find a way.
