Excerpt from  A Theology for the Rest of U s  - “What’s it all about, Alfie?” (Dione Warwick) Imagine coming into a large, dark room. You flip on the lights and find there are many tables, 50 or more, that are set with centerpieces, dishes, glasses, silverware, napkins and tablecloths. In the front of the room, there is a row of chairs with a podium and a microphone in the middle of the room. So? What goes through your mind? If your answer is “Nothing” or “All these things got here by accident somehow...maybe random storage…,” then you can stop reading now. That is not to say you are wrong. After all, you were not there when these items were placed in the room; nor did you meet the individual responsible for putting these items there.

Frida Kahlo "They will call you ""crazy"" because you are, because you were born with the gift of seeing things differently and that scares them." They're going to call you "intense" because you are, because you were born with the value well placed to allow yourself to feel it all fully and that intimidates them. They're going to call you "selfish" because that's right, because you found out that you're the most important thing in your life and that doesn't suit them. You’re going to be  called in many ways, with many judgments, for a long time, but stay firm on yourself and what you want, and I promise you one day they’re going to call you to say, “thank you for existing.” -Frida Kahlo I noticed  Frida  Kahlo did not use the word "genius" in this.
