MAYA ANGELOU’S BEST POEM EVER
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE…
Enough money within her control to move out
And rent a place of her own even if she never wants
To or needs to…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE…
Something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her
Dreams wants to see her in an [...]

By e.e. cummings
may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old
may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it’s sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they [...]

If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That there is a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If [...]

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic til I’m gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like [...]

Poem
I am God
Haiku
Came down from my
ivory tower
And found no world
(Enlightenments)
When you become enlightened
you will know that you’ve
been enlightened all along
*
Alright, I am sick of this
enlightenment – now I’m
dumb again – the
delicate blue morning
sky through the tree.
*
Don’t worry about food,
Little John, there’s some

So I took a bit of a break from blogging, letting the posts sit as they may. At times there is nothing new to say. The energy of the spring equinox was so beautifully and jubilantly lovely, I wanted to revel in it and not be distracted or articulate. Bulbs are bold in [...]

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If [...]

Aahh…love. It sounds so lovely doesn’t it? A world full of love, a home, a community, a family; it fills our dreams, awake and asleep; awakening us to a world which holds the potential, to move beyond the ordinary and into the extraordinary. Love is preached from the pulpit, in the [...]

In the sacredness of this day,
I sit upon the lotus flower and
inhale soundly the fragrance of Holy incense.
Deep within the center of the blossom,
upon the throne of the Adi Shakti,
the Goddess of creation plaits her hair;
glistening with the dew of ambrosial nectar.
Holy, Holy is her breath; perfumed by her
transcendent purity. Inhale her scent fully
in the [...]

I recently read a book title We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For by Alice Walker. Ms. Walker continually stretches to tackle subjects which rest heavy on the collective conscious. Her attention to these subjects and activism in creating awareness and change, keep her a strong, powerful, feminist voice in the wrestling of [...]
