"You know how fighting fish do it? They blow bubbles and in each one of those bubbles is an egg and they float the egg up to the surface. They keep this whole heavy nest of eggs floating, and they're constantly repairing it. It's as if they live in both elements"
- Audre Lorde
About this Quote
This quote by Audre Lorde is a metaphor for how we, as human beings, can reside in 2 worlds. Just like combating fish, we can reside in both the physical and psychological realms. We can develop a "nest" of our own, a safe area where we can nurture our emotions and feelings. We can blow bubbles of hope and optimism, and utilize them to drift our dreams and goals approximately the surface. We can also use these bubbles to fix our nest when it is damaged, and keep it afloat. This quote is a tip that we can reside in both the physical and psychological worlds, which we can utilize our own strength and resilience to keep our dreams alive.
