Last night after I submitted my first ever Spanish blog post, Bill sent me a very kind text message praising my efforts and my willingness to “put myself out there.” I was touched by his kindness and responded graciously. A few minutes later Bill did what Bill does, he texted me again and made me roll with laughter. This is what he said “Ok, I give. Tried to read it but need the translation, unless that is tomorrow’s blog post.”
Genius, Bill. Very genius. Here you go:
Today I want to write about Gloria Anzaldúa. A poet, a feminist and a scholar. Today I read a quote from her that I had never noticed before written on a wall at my work.
Tonight, I found a poem that touches my soul. Gloria wrote that language is a frontier for all. A border that we all must cross in order to define who we are.
The books saved my sanity,
knowledge opened for me places I had closed
and taught me first to survive
and then how to fly.
