More From Audre Lorde

The only idea man can affix to the name of god, is that of a first cause, the cause of all things. and, incomprehensibly difficult as it is for a man to conceive what a first cause is, he arrives at the belief of it, from the tenfold greater difficulty of disbelieving it. it is difficult beyond description to conceive that space can have no end; but it is more difficult to conceive an end. it is difficult beyond the power of man to conceive an eternal duration of what we call time; but it is more impossible to conceive a time when there shall be no time.

You don't have wisdom for tomorrow's problems. but you will tomorrow. you don't have resources for tomorrow's needs. but you will tomorrow. you don't have courage for tomorrow's challenges. but you will when tomorrow comes.
Wisdom Challenges Needs
For centuries, the battle of morality was fought between those who claimed that your life belongs to god and those who claimed that it belongs to your neighbors - between those who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of ghosts in heaven and those who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of incompetents on earth. and no one came to say that your life belongs to you and that the good is to live it.
Life Sacrifice Self
I can readily conceive of a man without hands or feet; and i could conceive of him without a head, if experience had not taught me that by this he thinks, thought then, is the essence of man, and without this we cannot conceive of him.

Happiness is a state of non-contradictory joy--a joy without penalty or guilt, a joy that does not clash with any of your values and does not work for your own destruction, not the joy of escaping from your mind, but of using your mind's fullest power, not the joy of faking reality, but of achieving values that are real, not the joy of a drunkard, but of a producer.
Happiness Real Escaping
It’s a new year and with it comes a fresh opportunity to shape our world. so this is my wish, a wish for me as much as it is a wish for you: in the world to come, let us be brave – let us walk into the dark without fear, and step into the unknown with smiles on our faces, even if we’re faking them. and whatever happens to us, whatever we make, whatever we learn, let us take joy in it. we can find joy in the world if it’s joy we’re looking for, we can take joy in the act of creation. so that is my wish for you, and for me. bravery and joy.

The feeling i have reminds me of new year’s eve, when the countdown is coming and i’m not quite sure whether to grab my camera or just live in the moment. usually i grab the camera and later regret it when the picture doesn’t turn out. then i feel enormously let down and think to myself that the night would have been more fun if it didn’t mean quite so much, if i weren’t forced to analyze where i’ve been and where i’m going.
