Maya Angelou, I love you Mrs. Angelou, I know who you are the last great African American storyteller, Nandi. I know who you are, a woman of high self-esteem. I heard your words in a magazine when I was a child. I think it was Ebony. It was a photo of you standing in a garden and it talked about the numerous languages you speak, it amazes me today. After 50 plus years serving your community and humanity with your profound wisdom; I know you are standing at the gate of spiritual and emotional freedom crying because we fail to listen. I am sorry that the young birds are not able to hear your singing. It is the noise in their ears that is cutting off the power of your voice, your words of resolve, empathy and courage, the message. It’s a shame today, more than before 1963, the African American mothers and young girls of today need you the most, right now. As a shepherd of spiritual empathy on the frontline; I still need your help fifty plus years later to save our people from self-destruction. My true nemeses are the people you want me to save. How can I awaken them in the days of ignorance, pain, denial and apathy for their own sake and survive? I am holding the line with your courage and patience. I will succeed in this social and civil war because of your leadership. In closing… I call you by your true name, Nandi asking for mercy, direction and the words of power. Energize me, my soul and resolve for conquest for the rights to demand from my people the power of self-reliance. I will leave the spirit of empathy with you. To watch over you and keep you warm. I will take back to the frontline your words, courage, patience and resolve and be victorious by any means necessary. Maya Angelou words to the African American community. “Ive learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. Ive learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. Ive learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, youll miss them when theyre gone from your life. Ive learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. Ive learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. Ive learned that you shouldnt go through life with a catchers mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. Ive learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. Ive learned that even when I have pains, I dont have to be one. Ive learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. Ive learned that I still have a lot to learn. Ive learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ― Maya Angelou Maya Angelou…my sincere love for you will live forever, Stanley Scott Solomon’s Wisdom https://facebook/pages/Stanley-Doc-Scott/417685324989803
