Wonderful poet and writer Maya Angelou died last week. Her family put out this statement. Dr. Maya Angelou passed quietly in her home before 8:00 a.m. EST. Her family is extremely grateful that her ascension was not belabored by a loss of acuity or comprehension. She lived a life as a teacher, activist, artist and human being. She was a warrior for equality, tolerance and peace. The family is extremely appreciative of the time we had with her and we know that she is looking down upon us with love. When Trees Fall is a beautiful poem to read at a time of loss. See whole text in link. It ends And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed. huffingtonpost/malika-saada-saar/in-honor-and-memory-of-maya-angelou_b_5403826.html
