Clutch: What is your definition of a man?
Saul Williams: Um…I think that a man is someone that is fully willing to take on the responsibility of power and realizing that that responsibility is not expressed necessarily through force but through a careful balance of strength and vulnerability. A man is someone that can listen as well as he can instruct. Someone that can receive as well as he can give, someone who is unafraid to feel and express what he feels as well as ridicule and anger. A balanced man understands the need for nurturing qualities within himself that may be deemed as feminine as well as those which come easily and come with masculine meaning. Yes, he can be the aggressor, he can also sit quiet and listen and learn. Yes he can fight and stand up and be strong. But he can also hug his child and tell his child that he loves him and hold his hand and cross the street and not tell him that he’s a punk for crying. The goal is a balanced man. A man that realizes that he does not have to be clouded by weed or alcohol or any of these things. He can be just enthralled with being alive and realize his capacity for his spiritual being. It all has a lot to do with responsibility.

Gaze
Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. Antoine De Saint Exupery

Don't Doubt Yourself!
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. Barack OBAMA

Fear
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne William "Return to Love"
