Arizona Dreamin’

Melange

Since our host, 60plus (thank you), arranged the August themes in alpha order, I thought I would include some def/syn of today's theme as such, too... 
Melange:  assortment, collection, combination, conglomeration, farrago, gallimaufry, hodgepodge, jumble, medley,  mishmash, patchwork, variety...

Remembering Toni Morrison (1932-2019)

“You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.”

"The function of freedom is to free someone else.”

“Something that is loved is never lost.”

“If you're going to hold someone down you're going to have to hold on by the other end of the chain. You are confined by your own repression.”

“Writing is really a way of thinking—not just feeling but thinking about things that are disparate, unresolved, mysterious, problematic or just sweet.”

“At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint, or even remember it. It is enough.”
