"That's all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don't know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won't matter if we don't survive these times."

What did you think of the Earthseed proverbs at the beginning of the Parable of the Sower chapters? Were there any that particularly spoke to you?

A multiple recipient of both the Hugo and Nebula awards, she became the first science-fiction writer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship (1995).

A color portrait of Octavia Estelle Butler (1947–2006), the visionary Black science fiction author and pioneer of Afrofuturism. She looks directly at the camera with a calm, deeply thoughtful, and serene expression. Resting her chin on her right hand, her fingers curl gently beneath her jaw. She wears thin, metal-framed glasses and a colorful, multi-patterned blazer featuring bold geometric blocks of red, yellow, purple, blue, and black. The foreground features a neatly arranged horizontal line of books facing forward. Prominently displayed are four teal spine copies of her acclaimed trilogy compilation, Lilith's Brood. To their left are other sci-fi and speculative titles, including Bitten and Catch the Lightning. The background is softly out of focus, revealing tall library bookshelves tightly packed with vibrant book spines. The vertical composition, rich colors, and academic setting create a warm, intellectual mood. This emphasizes her historical significance as a ground-breaking, award-winning literary figure.

All that you touch

All that you Change
Changes you.

The only lasting truth
Is Change.

God

Rereading: Parable of the Shower.

Embrace diversity.
Unite—
Or be divided,
robbed,
ruled,
killed
By those who see you as prey.
Embrace diversity
Or be destroyed.

The last time we were segregated, our elders built movements that shook the whole world.

They can try this if they want to… this time, we (and our children and grandchildren) may very well open up an interstellar travel just because we can. #Earthseed

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
