Quote by Adiela Akoo

“I feel it in my bones now, time slowly slipping away. An urgency is building, to say all I didn't or couldn't say. I feel the need to pass on, the lantern of my life. Perhaps you may gain something, to help you through some strife. (excerpt from the poem: "I feel it in my bones")”

“Due to Mom’s condition, she would attack “The Walls” from sun-up to sun-down and day after day due to her mentalparanoia. With the death of her sister, no barrier, partition, fence, or any standing surface would’ve been safe. That kind of trauma would’ve created an endless loop of rages such as: “Oh no! Oh no! Not my sister, you Devil Ass Dawg! Oh Jesus, those Dead Dawg have come and taken my sister away! Help me Jesus! Help me get those Dawg out of my house!

“Artist I don't mind being the non-essential. Even a child takes its mother for granted. It does not run back to its mother until it's hurt. Nobody first thinks of water when they arrive at an exquisite dinner party, until they are choking. I don't mind being the non-essential knowing you will come looking when things are broken and nothing else works. Art is non-essential Until it is not. ― Madhu Raghavendra”

“It's everywhere and yet nowhere In the eyes of a child In your smile, even if it's mild It's in the imperceptible dew of the dawn It's in the ambience of a freshly cut lawn. Yet how selfish I would be if I would be talking about it only in the sight sense Voice...my second love Voices in which I can dove Forever and never come out It's not only what beauty is about And yet a shame on all of us We still chose that face As the only place to admire beauty”
