Rather than a ‘Thought for the Day’ I prefer we think
instead on Maya Angelou’s incredible life and talent. A singer, actress,
writer, film director, and poet among many other things.
This wonderful lady often spoke for the American soul in her
poetry. Standing alone on a podium, she would gaze idly out at the audience,
hint at a mini smile and say a few words. Those words almost always stopped air
from moving.
Her thoughts stunned people. In my case I’d sit and wonder
how she knew what was on my mind, and why she could put those words together
and I could not.
We have lost a talent so important to mankind it is hard to
imagine the consequences. At least we have her printed work to luxuriate in
over and over.
And over.
