And just came across it again, so thought I'd post:
Not everything that is faced can be changed,
but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
~ James Baldwin
I just started reading him last year, first excerpts as reported in Brain Pickings, and then a collection of interviews and most recently Notes of a Native Son. It's a little spooky (and very sad) that so much of what he describes still appears to be exactly the same.
I read a news report this morning that there's a fundraising campaign starting to turn his residence in southern France into an artists' colony. I loved my one visit to southern France and have wanted to go back - that would make an excellent reason.
Busy reading,
Annie
