I remember one guy I had known for a long time and we had a lot of mutual respect was so furious that I thought he was going to come over and punch me in the meeting. [more] In fact it is a prayer that has never not been answered. 100 percent results. Here it is, at no extra charge. [more[ "If you can keep your head while all about you people are loosing there's, you don't understand the situation." [more] Yeast has been a very powerful metaphor for me. It reassures me that even a small part can make a difference--that quickening, that fermenting, that tastiness offered by a small minority. As far as my actions are Spirit-led, that can make a difference in a much larger thing that doesn't seem to be acting in consistency with Spirit. [more]

I was really moved one day, and the women who said it to me was moved when she said it to me, "you changed my thinking about white people." [more] That experience I had in response to prayer was extraordinary. It was like experiencing heaven. [more] One Christmas morning at 5:00, there was a knock on our door and this woman who lived several houses down the street said "My house is on fire and my telephone doesn't work." It turns out that what was happening was more than a fire. [more]

For me, thinking about being a coyote in terms of oppression issues is part of me trying to figure out how I follow the example of Jesus, and that is a really spiritual quest. [more] We are really shy about the Spirit-led direction of our organization. It seems like we only talk about it in our fund appeals! It is also scary to me because I worry about what other people would think about us who are outsiders. [more] What I am realizing more and more is that there are stories I need to tell. It seems like that is the thing that is pulling me on the most. They take a little while to ripen. I'm a young'en! [more]

I was like an eagle who selects his meal from the sky. Before incarceration, my heart was hard as a stone and twice as cold. [more] As I was driving to work. I passed this guy on the street who was waving his arms at me, but I didn't recognize him. [more] I am moving from where I was to another dimension, from prison to Mecca, from prison to a freedom of the mind. [more]
