…have poets write about you as if you are alive. Scientifically, it is absolutely true, you are alive. You have a pulse, the waves, and a metabolism, the food chain. A personality, a character, a consciousness, and a sense of purpose…try this- turn into spray, spin rainbows…wear down entire mountains and dump them in layers…gently surround marina sea grass twice a day, protecting and feeding thousands of crabs, ducks, and geese…fill human eyes with warm salt brine at least once a month… Becoming Water ↗

Argentine political life is like the life of an ant community or an African forest tribe: full of events, full of crisis and deaths, but life is always cyclical, and the year ends as it begins. ↗

Don’t teach your children to be afraid. Then you ask Abdul Malik, you want them to be radicals? You know what a radical is? People label people radicals who challenge them, then, after they are killed they call them heroes; Martin Luther King, Kennedy, Malcom X all radicals. Radical is a person who refuses to accept oppression. Who knows by the inner nature of the spirit in which God has made them, they yearn and have the right to breathe free. Freedom is not the gift of any nation to humanity. Freedom is from Allah subhana wa ta'ala to every creature he has created. ↗

— Imam Abdul Malik

I knew absolutely nothing about acting, and had to be taught everything. Some people are born naturals and know how to walk, talk and hold themselves. I didn't and had to learn everything. ↗

Fear is the State's psychological weapon of choice to frighten citizens into sacrificing their basic freedoms and rule-of-law protections in exchange for the security promised by their all-powerful government. ↗
