"When we bundle individuals into groups by labeling them... we so often overlook the diversities that make them part of any such group" If I say I only Hate or Love I deny any dual existence of life... the breath in and out... I succumb to the language of the Alphabet, the written language that holds no bearing on the sensual world I inhabit... the language we have suppressed to Black and White... not only within the printed page though within my very language which makes no sense of the sensory world that I no longer become apart of... I stand outside with the fear of what I can not intellectualize or put the alphabet to... even when I can hear the tear... touch the wound... taste the fear... see thy beauty... smell your pleasure...
