There is not one human being who can and will live on this earth forever, but I do believe that there are those few people that we never even think about losing. For me, Maya Angelou has been one of those people. I've been bombarded with the tweets, Instagram photos, quotes and everything else all morning. However, these past couple of hours or so, I've had some moments to sit still--to think--and to be honest, those few moments have left me with few words. It took awhile to sink in, but surely, it is beginning to sink in.
It is without a doubt that Ms. Angelou's absence on this earth is going to leave a huge space. I've mourned the loss of quite a few public figures, saying they'll never be forgotten--which is true--but the more I think, the more I just remember Dr. Maya Angelou, the more I realize just how great a force this woman was. In times of joy, in times of sadness--in new beginnings and the endings of life and eras, Maya Angelou has been THE person to call, so that she may shed her light on whatever occasion. That is power. Not material or some form of hierarchical power-- that is a gift. That is a spirit that is beyond this world.
This is all that I am able to express, for now.
Thank you, Dr. Maya Angelou.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
