Dr. Maya Angelou came t speak here this pas t Saturday. Now you know i had to get a good ticket to that. She is one of the most phenomenal women of our time. Absolutely phenomenal. When she came out she got a standing ovation. I was so moved. I have no idea why, all she did was walk but i was moved by being in the presence of such a great woman.
She spoke about composers. We are all composers she said. We have the power as human beings to compose a part of somebody's life. It can be through everyday, passing interaction like a good morning or a smile. Or it can be through the people who impact our lives, both negatively and positively. I am not good at recounting so i do not want to take away from her message but the way she delivered it was amazing. She read some poetry, both hers and other peoples'. It was a really intriguing night an i think he s more amazing than what i read in her books and her poetry. There hasn't been a poetess in my opinion, who has captured thought in such a way that is is spoken art. I love her words, they are impactful. I have a;ways dreamed of being able to write like that, in a way that is beautiful and totally original.
I had so much i wanted to write about as soon as i got home Saturday but i gt lazy. Now i have no idea what i wanted to say. aND I AM A BIT LAZY AGAIN TOO. plus i am in photography class right now. rying hard not to let it get to me. Trying.
I need to write later on tonight, i have things to say. Not ranting, just thoughts.
