Many readers fail to realize this, but 'The Color Purple' is a theological text. It is about the reclamation of one's original God: the earth and nature.
god nature mind
How anyone cannot see that Nature is God is amazing to me: that they'd rather worship something that can only exist, really, in their own minds.

Dear God...I have always been a good girl. Maybe you can give me a sign letting me know what is happening to me.
god thinking world

At Sarah Lawrence, I realized that everybody was already what they were going to be. The painters were painting, the writers writing, the dancers dancing. And nobody wore any makeup. The art was uppermost.
confused learn ourselves
We must, all of us, learn actually not to have enemies, but only confused adversaries who are ourselves in disguise.
