love thursday 10.01.09 ~ resistance to oppression

Resistance to oppression is often based on a love that leads us to value ourselves, and leads us to hope for more than the established cultural system is willing to grant ... such love is far more energizing than guilt, duty, or self-sacrifice. ... Solidarity does not require self-sacrifice, but an enlargement of the self to include community with others.

I've been really busy and out of town a few days each week. I haven't had time to write or read much. Bear with me. I'll get caught up eventually.

Thanks for continuing to visit.

And Happy Love Thursday!
