In our current milieu, I find myself referring back to my novel where we can learn much during these crucial crossroads of our life. Quotes from BeingKind - A Brave New Race: "Race!" There was fire in my sister’s eyes. “After all, what does race truly mean? Our government uses this term to acknowledge hatred. Their contradictions reflect the wrongdoings and inept thinking of the past. No genetic markers define race within a species. All of humankind should have been considered as one race. Ethnicity and the color of one’s skin should not have dictated to the segregation of diverse classifications. It is as if the humans considered their native origin to be subclasses within their species. It is a biological myth and an ignorant reference we must continue to eliminate!”
Excerpts from BeingKind - A Brave New Race by Linda G Palma: When all turned red I turned to the sea It was there I fled It was calling me The wind in my hair And a cool northern breeze With a flicker and a flare It beckoned me I swam for the living It was cold, it was warm But I kept on swimming Into a mighty storm I emerged unseen Beyond nothingness The world behind me Only blue with loneliness And there I drift Along with my dreams To reflect on my past Or of what it seems The salt erodes And there I float Where seagulls land To nourish their souls
