Some Words From Maya Angelou

This morning I had a pleasant surprise.  The smiling and beaming face of a lovely, inspirational, strong, resilient and so kind woman named Maya Angelou.  Sometimes we need to hear inspiration, to feel hope, to find solace and peace.  Maya says "Shine, shine, shine on my friends. The dust will settle and the dawn has come"

There are few people that have lived such extraordinary lives and have persevered enough to not only succeed themselves, but to help uplift humanity as well.  In my heart, this lady is truly amazing.  I hope you find her words today both uplifting and healing because we know there is someone out there reaching out to her at this very moment.  Love always. . . . 

"It is not what you seek that will find you.

It is what you know that is in your heart that will resonate towards you."

In and Out of Time

The sun has come.

The mist has gone.

We see in the distance...

our long way home.

I was always yours to have.

You were always mine.

We have loved each other in and out of time.

When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun

and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor

I had always loved you more.

You freed your braids...

gave your hair to the breeze.

It hummed like a hive of honey bees.

I reached in the mass for the sweet honey comb there....

Mmmm...God how I love your hair.

You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.

Lost, injured, hurt by chance.

I screamed to the heavens....loudly screamed....

Trying to change our nightmares into dreams...

The sun has come.

The mist has gone.

We see in the distance our long way home.

I was always yours to have.

You were always mine.

We have loved each other in and out

in and out

in and out

of time.
