A thot and a film, each followed by a quote

[Both quotes are from Blake’s Marriage of Heaven and Hell.]

Thot

One says, “I care deeply about my children.” Another says, “I care deeply about all children.”

One says, “I love my fellow countrymen.” Another says, “I love all people, no matter what country they’re from.” And yet another says, “I love all life.”

For every thing that lives is Holy.


Film

Last night we watched Judas and the Black Messiah (2021). I was very moved; I admired it deeply. My first thought was: “I can’t believe the Powers that Be allowed this to exist.” My next thought was: “But they probably see it as a warning to all who might try to rise against barbarity.” For that reason, I was left as depressed as I was impressed.

One Law for the Lion & Ox is Oppression.
