More From John Keats

Passion makes the old medicine new: passion lops off the bough of weariness. passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!

You are life passing through your body, passing through your mind, passing through your soul. once you find that out, not with logic, not with the intellect, but because you can feel that life-you find out that you are the force that makes the flowers open and close, that makes the hummingbird fly from flower to flower. you find out that you are in every tree, and you are in every animal, vegetable, and rock. you are that force that moves the wind and breathes through your body. the whole universe is a living being that is moved by that force, and that is what you are. you are life.

Time Art Past

Theoretically, you can make, obviously, a powerful argument that centuries of slavery, jim crow, discrimination are the primary cause for all those gaps. that those were wrongs done to the black community as a whole, and black families specifically, and that in order to close that gap, a society has a moral obligation to make a large, aggressive investment, even if it's not in the form of individual reparations checks, but in the form of a marshall plan, in order to close those gaps. it is easy to make that theoretical argument.
