I.Journey..."Surrender in Injustice"

'I love the way that your heart breaks with every injustice and deadly fate. Praying it all be new and living like it all depends on you. I love that you're never satisfied with face value wisdom and happy lies. You take what they say and go back and cry. Here you are down on your knees trying to find air to breathe, right where I want you to be again. Only surrender will help you now. The floodgates are breaking. See and believe'

I.Journey..."Truth in Poverty"

…And yet now that I am older, less easily frightened by images of poverty, now that I know poverty can also contain riches - deep friendships, for instance, or a faithful, devoted love - I wonder more than ever about the inner life of those who have been up and now are down. There’s always the outsiders look at an impoverished life: it seems pitiful, a waste, a shame. Yet seen from within the poverty, perhaps a different reality might be sketched. A reality of lessons learned the hard, hard way that lessons are learned.
