Work

Back-log studies and My summer in a garden

The title suggests a dual focus, with one element examining unresolved questions or accumulated thoughts referred to as back-log studies, and the other capturing the experiential account of time spent in a garden during summer. The work appears to weave together observational detail about garden environments with introspective examination, potentially using the natural setting as a framework for broader rumination. The seasonal reference to summer implies a period of growth, warmth, and active engagement with the outdoor world. The combination of analytical studies with seasonal garden experience indicates a work that values both intellectual inquiry and direct sensory encounter with nature. more

“Someone must show that the Afro-American race is more sinned against than sinning, and it seems to have fallen to me to do so. The awful death roll called every week is appalling, not only because of the lives taken, the cruelty and outrage to the victims, but because of the prejudice it fosters.”

“Those who came to the United States didn't realize they were white until they got here. They were told they were white. They had to learn they were white. An Irish peasant coming from British imperial abuse in Ireland during the potato famine in the 1840s, arrives in the United States. You ask him or her what they are. They say, "I am Irish." No, you're white. "What do you mean, I am white?" And they point me out. "Oh, I see what you mean. This is a strange land."”

“Charity is an ugly trick. It is a virtue grown by the rich on the graves of the poor. Unless it is accompanied by sincere revolt against the present social system, it is a cheap moral swagger. In former times it was used as fire insurance by the rich, but now that the fear of Hell has gone along with the rest of revealed religion, it is used either to gild mean lives with nobility or as a political instrument.”
