Quote by Lynn Austin

“You have beautiful hair"... and she reached out to touch it, her bejeweled fingers gently caressing my head. A tear slipped down my cheek. I knew how the lepers felt when Jesus touched them and made them whole again.”

“I have come here from my city, I have descended from my nome; I have built a house, set up (its) doors, I have dug a pool, planted sycamores. The king praised me, My father made a will for me. I was one worthy --- One beloved of his father, Praised by his mother, Whom all his brothers loved. I gave bread to the hungry, Clothing to the naked, I brought the boatless to land. O you who live upon earth, Who shall pass by this tomb Going north or going south, Who shall say: "a thousand loaves and beer jugs For the owner of this tomb," I shall watch over them in the necropolis. I am an excellent equipped spirit (akh), A lector-priest who knows his speech. As for any man who enters this tomb unclean, I shall seize him by the neck like a bird, He will be judged for it by the great god! I was one who spoke fairly, who repeated what was liked, I never spoke evilly against any man to his superior, Never did I judge between two [contenders] In a manner which deprived a son of his father's legacy. Harkhuf”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 100 All meditate on symbols, I meditate on people. Most worship fictitious deities, I worship those branded unliftable. People are my almighty, Oneness is my religion, Division is degradation, Unification is illumination. All is possible for a human who's responsible, Only the indifferent make excuses. Possibility is born of responsibility, Not of whining, praying and limbless wishes. Real and unreal, put all these talk aside. Let us be civilization, let us be lifelight.”
