public radio

as usual seems ages have passed since i added any musings here, and now i find myself very far from wondering in nyc but rather here on an indefinite hiatus to Houston.

well anyway, due to a recent surge in my driving time (which i usually detest) i have been listening to a lot more radio and heard a piece on an activist named Arundhati Roy.

I won't go into detail about her but I found her activism in India very inspiring and interesting and especially this quote that kept coming up when i searched her on the web.

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget."
