“Some callings come to you only in memory. Some come only on the mouth of someone you trust. Some don’t need to be heard in order to be lived. And not all calls come from outside of you.” FaithChristianityTheologyBelovedBlack AuthorsToni MorrisonCole Arthur RileyBlack LiturgiesThis Here FleshBlack Writers Book:This Here Flesh: Spirituality, Liberation, and the Stories That Make Us Source: This Here Flesh: Spirituality, Liberation, and the Stories That Make Us
“We are poorly attuned to one another's bodies. It is a latent evil. To know your own body is a spiritual care and protection. To know the body of another is a spiritual union and conciliation. We must become so acquainted with the physical good that when evil, affliction, sickness, and pain come, we can name them with the urgency they demand. These hands may move, but not the way my hands move. There are times when the sacred fidelity to self—fully embodied soul-self—may keep us from death itself.” FaithSpiritualityChristianityTheologyBlack Lives MatterBlack AuthorsCole Arthur RileyBlack LiturgiesThis Here Flesh Book:This Here Flesh: Spirituality, Liberation, and the Stories That Make Us Source: This Here Flesh: Spirituality, Liberation, and the Stories That Make Us
