Happy birthday dear one.
I hope that we continue to learn from you and live sincerely, kindly, authentically and fiercely.
“Words are things, I am convinced
You must be careful, careful about the words you use
Or the words you allow to be used in your house
In the Old Testament we are told in Genesis
That in the beginning was the Word
And the Word was God and the Word was with God
That’s in Genesis
Words are things
You must be careful
Careful about calling people out of their names
Using racial pejoratives and sexual pejoratives
And all that ignorance
Don’t do that
Someday we’ll be able to measure the power of words
I think they are things
I think they get on the walls, they get in your wallpaper, they get in your rugs
In your upholstery, in your clothes and finally…
Into you”
