“Reaping what you sow is very different, and yet, it is the only thing that can be counted on ... that careful application of self to tasks, continuing to learn from the world and digging deep to learn more about the self, the investment of self in ways of being and doing, bringing about deep and fundamental accomplishments and changes.”

“This is a critical year--maybe the last critical year if we get this wrong--when we are all challenged to recognize how we have benefitted and continue to benefit from unearned privilege (as well as how we have been denied and disrespected, even in ways that we have perceived as privilege, or as our right). We all must be willing to look, to acknowledge, to own the complex reality which is our history, our country, our lives.
It is not enough to go to a house of prayer and ask God for forgiveness. It is not enough that we forgive each other, not enough to forgive ourselves. We must extend effort to repair damage in which we have participated and/or from which we have received benefit...
We must do differently moving forward.”

“Sam threw up on Mark's new blazer.
"Shit," said Mark.
"I'm sorry," I said. Sam started to cry. There was a kind of odd murmur in the seats around us, as the smell began to penetrate to the adjoining rows. At any moment the murmur would probably build to a hiss, and then a chorus of boos, and ultimately Sam and I would be stoned to death with Bic pens.
"What am I apologizing for?" I said. "It's not my fault."
"I know it's not," said Mark. "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault either," I said.
"This whole thing is my fault," he said.
"If you really believed that, you would have paid my shuttle fare," I said.
I picked up Sam and stood up to go to the bathroom with him. Mark began to wipe off his blazer with his handkerchief.
"You bought that blazer with Thelma Rice, didn't you?" I said, and started for the back. I didn't even have to hear the answer. Mark's impulse to fall in love is always accompanied by his impulse to purchase clothes with the loved one looking on.”

“It’s is not a surprising news that manna should fall from heaven in these days. But this manna will fall for those who cultivated manna farms on the clouds above! He who sow will reap; isn't it?”

“That old Golden Rule, "you reap what you sow" nonsense--
I've got a problem with that. This idea you choose what you put into the world and it comes back just as you expect. Sow good, reap good. Sow evil, reap evil. Like we've got our pick of every seed sack in the world. But we don't have our pick, do we? No man gets to choose his talents, or his advantages. You do the best you can with what you got. But it's still just..birthright and happenstance. Bad luck and rotten seed.”

“The island spirits are those who have much to atone for before they can cross over. Meemaw has experience."
"Can she harm me?" I asked softly.
"You're being ridiculous," Mama said.
"Said the spirit who must atone for bad deeds," I retorted. "Well, can she?"
Betsy was busy staring at her hands, which she was clenching and unclenching.
"She can't curse or hurt anyone in any way. She can only do good or she'll be stuck roaming for all eternity."
I turned and made eye contact with Mama.
"You can also ignore her and she'll be forced to leave," Betsy added.
"So, it's up to me." An involuntary smile spread across my face. "I'm in charge."
"I'm doing the best I can. I wasn't a perfect mother, but I'm here now doing everything in my power to help you girls." Her lips quivered slightly.”

“Karma's menu: what goes around, comes around! So, sprinkle some kindness, top it off with good vibes, and serve it up with a side of positivity.
