“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it. People think pleasing God is all God cares about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.”
― Alice Walker, The Color Purple
When watching the complicated movie based on the book I love I have a weekend watch epiphany with the literary work that helped reshape and think through relationships, historical racism, misogyny, family, and the power of sisterhood. With that insight comes through restoration and forgiveness. In this quote I hear the depth of the connection to the Divine. That this relationship as a rubric for how we should view all relationships. That the best relationships are reciprocal and are liberatory. When we welcome the freedom of ourselves we can be a part of the liberation of others.
