“Center of the World is Indigenous (Sonnet 2680)
Fact of the matter is,
most white scholars eventually
turn out to be just another colonial twit,
no matter how brilliant, how learned they are,
because animal conditioning doesn't wear off
with mere education of the intellect -
your soul must be disinfected of colonial filth,
which is not possible until you intrinsically
embody the pain, indignity, and humiliations
of the oppressed, subjected through generations.
Your opinion on religion, your opinion of reason,
your opinion of philosophy, your opinion of society,
it's all just opinion, that too of a lesser lifeform,
until you outgrow your whiteness and look at
the world through the actual center of the world -
and the center of the world is indigenous.”

Cut straight to the core
Brighten the flame
Break open the cage
Shatter the wall
Shut down the noise
Soften the pain
Sharpen the brain”

“Centering Prayer is an opening, a response, a putting aside of all the debris that stands in the way of our being totally present to the present Lord, so that He can be present to us. It is a laying aside of thoughts, so that the heart can attend immediately to Him. All prayer is a response. The Lord first knocks, beckons, calls to us.”

“Cento volte desiderai di uccidermi, ma mi piaceva tuttora di vivere. Questa ridicola debolezza è forse una delle nostre inclinazioni più funeste: c'è nulla infatti più sciocco di voler continuare a portare un fardello che si vorrebbe sempre buttar per terra? d'avere l'esser proprio in orrore, ed esserci attaccati? insomma, d'accarezzare il serpente che ci divora, finché non ci abbia mangiato il cuore?”

“Central Africa was a region without writing, but not without a history. Hundreds, yea thousands of years of human history preceded the arrival of the Europeans.

“Central banks are choosing to increase their gold holdings as a percentage of total reserves. They obviously think there is a reason to do that. It doesn't make sense to back up one currency with a hoard of other paper currencies. There needs to be a real anchor there. I think that central banks are well behind the curve. If you look at the percentage of above-ground gold controlled by central banks, it's historically low. Hence the fact that central banks are trying to increase their holdings. They've got a long way to go to get where they need to be.”
“Central banks don't have divine wisdom. They try to do the best analysis they can and must be prepared to stand or fall by the quality of that analysis.”
