Yesterday as I awoke I already felt sad! And while remembering my dear darling mother-in-law, who passed away a year ago, I cried and cried with deep deep grief. But the void I was feeling in my heart got even bigger when later on in the day we heard the news of Dr Angelou’s departure. To rein in my sadness I started painting. Then told my daughter a story of her and Maya Angelou!?! Years back when my daughter was a newborn I remember clearly one single ‘rushed’ day among all my frenzied nursing days, how this lovely poet appeared on the TV screen and recited one her poems. Suddenly my frantic life stood still. I just stopped and listened. Maybe even my little baby daughter stopped whatever she was doing and listened. After watching this video that’s what I do today again. I’ll just stop and listen. Thanks Jennifer for sharing.
