From ‘Brown Girl Dreaming’ by
Jacqueline Woodson:
When there are many worlds, you can
choose the one you walk into each day.
You can imagine yourself brilliant as your sister, slower moving, quiet
and thoughtful as your older brother or filled up with the hiccupping joy and
laughter of the baby in the family. You
can imagine yourself a mother now, turning to wave good-bye to your children…
When there are many worlds, love can wrap itself around you, say Don’t
cry. Say, You are as good as anyone.
Say, Keep remembering me.
And you know, even as the world
explodes around you—that you are loved…
Each day a new world opens itself up to you. And all the worlds you are…gather into one
world called You where You decide what each world and each story and each
ending will finally be.
