Tears and reflections today in honor of the death earlier this morning of Maya Angelou, poet, memoirist, dancer, survivor of childhood abuse.

May she rest in peace.
She spoke at California State University, Northridge, in about 2011, telling students they each have gifts to use in this world, to have courage and persevere in being all that they can be.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings tells her early story. If anyone had all the odds against her in life, it was Marguerite Johnson, raised by her grandparents in Stamps, Arkansas.
Praise to the Creator for the beautiful witness of her life.

To honor Maya Angelou on her passing:
Please call the U.S. postal service. Request that a U.S.A. stamp be created to honor Maya Angelou.
I just called and the woman who answered said she is so impressed that so many people are calling with this request.
So it might just be working!!!
Here's the number to call: (202) 268-2000.
