As i think about anyone or anything -- whether history or literature or my father or political organizations or a poem or a film -- as i seek to evaluate the potentiality, the life-supportive commitment and possibilities of anyone or any thing, the decisive question is always where is the love?

More From June Jordan

I keep feeling that there isn't one poem being written by any one of us - or a book or anything like that. the whole life of us writers, the whole product i guess i mean, is the one long poem - a community effort if you will. it's all the same poem. it doesn't belong to any one writer - it's god's poem perhaps. or god's people's poem.
Book Mean Long
Everything comes by being! be the love you seek. be the friend you seek. be the lover you seek. be the honesty you seek. be the integrity you seek. be the patience you seek. be the tolerance you seek. be the compassion you seek.
Honesty Integrity Love You
Usually you just use these words: "i give you my, i make this commitment to you, i honor this idea between us." for me, commitment boils down to honor. because you make a commitment to protect our environment, you make a commitment to species preservation, you make a commitment to stop things like human trafficking. you make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. typically, something that is positive. a positive notion of honor.
Commitment Ideas Giving
Commitment is the first step to every good thing i know, and the only step that matters when it comes to achievement. it inspires and attracts people, shows them you have conviction and goals, that you are focused and determined. and the commitment that is based on values will endure. any time you make choices based on solid life values, you are in a better position to sustain your level of commitment, because you don't have to continually re-evaluate its importance.
Commitment People Goal
I'm not sure there can be loving without commitment, although commitment takes all kinds of forms, and there can be commitment for the moment as well as commitment for all time. the kind that is essential for loving marriages - and love affairs, as well - is a commitment to preserving the essential quality of your partner's soul, adding to them as a person rather than taking away.
Marriage Commitment Soul
What i try to do is to go into a poem - and one writes them, of course, poem by poem - to go into each poem, first of all without having any sense whatsoever of where it's going to end up

Similar Quotes
I take in a lot of stuff from real life, movies, television, news and it all gets mixed in my head and somehow turns into a story idea.
Real Writing Ideas
If you want to write, write it. that's the first rule. and send it in, and send it in to someone who can publish it or get it published. don't send it to me. don't show it to your spouse, or your significant other, or your parents, or somebody. they're not going to publish it.
Writing Parent Want
I've always had a desire to write something and capture people's imagination like peter pan had captured mine.
Writing People Imagination
What i'm really involved in when i'm writing is something that no one ever mentions when they see any play. writing is like trying to make gunpowder out of chemicals. you have these words and sentences and the strange meanings and associations that are attached to the words and sentences, and you're somehow cooking these things all up so that they suddenly explode and have a powerful effect. that's what absorbs me from day to day in writing a play.
