Hope Is a Risk
From Cole Arthur Riley, author of Black Liturgies (Amazon):
Hope is a risk; especially when you’ve known what it is to dream for better and only be met with the tyranny of degradation, greed, and violent appetites.
But despair is a concession.
Be careful of who you let regulate your dreaming. Always remember who benefits from our hopelessness.
