Possessed

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“If more people could only comprehend that an artist must create because he has to create, because he is possessed by his art! The artist is only a very tiny part of the universe and should not receive more attention than anything else on earth that gives us beauty, joy and replenishment.”

—Pablo Picasso, “What Life Has Taught Me,” Music Journal, Jan. 1962

Grace

Posted by PJ under drag, grace, quote of the day, sacredness
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“I also think drag is part of everyone, but in the way that it is queer, I think it represents a sacrament. Of course, some people use drag to be disrespectful; I don’t think that this is any different from other ways that people are disrespectful with and through sacraments. I guess, also, I should say that what I mean by sacrament is specifically an outward expression of inward grace.”

—Rev. Theresa Ines Soto, quoted by Rev. Caitlin S. Cotter, “Sun in Drag” Sermon, June 18, 2017

Resistance

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“An act of violence against any innocent person eludes martial and moral justification, disgraces the millions of Americans and people throughout the world who have united in peaceful protest against police brutality and racial inequality, undermines the blood our ancestors’ spilled as they turned the other cheek, and dishonors our proud inheritance of nonviolent resistance.”
