face book

My feelings. I just watched and these are my feelings: fear, sadness, longing, insecure, awed, wishful, angry, ashamed, appreciative. I am afraid of my own complicity. I feel sad in that I live in such a duplicitous country. I long to have met such a mind as Baldwin. I feel insecure in my ability to truly see so deeply. I am awed by the words and can actually feel the weight of them. I am wishful that each of us can become better humans to one another. I am angry, it's apparent why. I am ashamed, also apparent by looking around us all. I am appreciative that the world once had a James Baldwin upon its surface.
