More From Nikki Giovanni

My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.
Hurt Morning Wall
When forced to leave my house for an extended period of time, i take my typewriter with me, and together we endure the wretchedness of passing through the x-ray scanner. the laptops roll merrily down the belt, while i’m instructed to stand aside and open my bag. to me it seems like a normal enough thing to be carrying, but the typewriter’s declining popularity arouses suspicion and i wind up eliciting the sort of reaction one might expect when traveling with a cannon. it’s a typewriter,’ i say. ‘you use it to write angry letters to airport security.

Halfway down the stairs, is a stair, where i sit. there isn't any, other stair, quite like, it. i'm not at the bottom, i'm not at the top; so this is the stair, where, i always, stop. halfway up the stairs, isn't up, and isn't down. it isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town. and all sorts of funny thoughts, run round my head: it isn't really anywhere! it's somewhere else instead!

Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.
Grace Touching Skins
Once you change your philosophy, you change your thought pattern. once you change your thought pattern, you change your attitude. once you change your attitude, it changes your behavior pattern and then you go on into some action. as long as you gotta sit-down philosophy, you’ll have a sit-down thought pattern, and as long as you think that old sit-down thought you’ll be in some kind of sit-down action.

There is probably not one person, however great his virtue, who cannot be led by the complexities of life's circumstances to a familiarity with the vices he condemns the most vehemently--without his completely recognizing this vice which, disguised as certain events, touches him and wounds him: strange words, an inexplicable attitude, on a given night, of the person whom he otherwise has so many reasons to love.

I say that when you have perceived or attained the goal, compromises, renunciations, do not exist. if you have seen the goal, compromise ceases to exist. it is then a question of a different attitude.
Attitude Goal Different
If your mental attitude is positive, even when threats abound, you won’t lose your inner peace. on the other hand, if your mind is negative, marked by fear, suspicion and feelings of helplessness, even among your best friends, in a pleasant atmosphere and comfortable surroundings, you won’t be happy.
