If you show me you’re a snake

I’ll show you my heel

..

“I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will crush his heel.”

– Genesis 3:15 (EHV)

“Why do you not see me more often?”

..

“Because the words why have you not been to see me? Are sweeter than the words why have you come again?”

Having neither the courage nor the historical precedent,

I raged inside myself like a blinded bull in a metal stall.

– Maya Angelou
