Maya Angelou

I don't know what to say, the feeling is heavy.  ...I love Maya Angelou's spirit, her joy, her love.  I will have to read them all again,  I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, A Song Flung up to Heaven, I should go on and re-read all of her books.  She said she "Wouldn't Take Nothing for her Journey Now."

Speaking of her mother in this  book, "...She would look up as if she could will herself into the heavens, and tell her family in particular and the world in general, "I will step out on the word of God.  I will step out on the word of God."  Immediately I could see her flung into space, moons at her feet and stars at her head, comets swirling around her."------  Now that sounds like a great painting......

---There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you---Maya Angelou

She loved and was loved.  Thank you.
