this is not a "feel-good" performance or poem, so if you are looking for something purely uplifting, this might not be it. this poem is, however, incredible. sunni patterson invokes the prophetic voice, speaking radical truth and transformation. the first time i saw this was accidental. i was visiting a friend, and Def Poetry Jam just happened to be on tv. my mouth nearly dropped.
so why is this video on bigheartvideos? because having a big heart requires that we open ourselves to the radical proposal of Love. i call it a proposal, because Love is an agreement we make with our hearts. and that doesn't mean it's always pretty. if it is not challenging us to go beyond ourselves, then it isn't love.
she has a lot of other amazing videos on youtube.
i hope you're well.
in love,
ge
