Today I am inspired through the words of poet, Maya Angelou who shared through delicate lines the importance of being human.

So often we forget this aspect of self; we refuse our own vulnerability – the same vulnerability which forges compassion.

Are we afraid to know these blessings of heart? To hear the voice that cries from within?

And, how do we know, my loves – that which is ‘right’ and ‘good’? Isn’t the better path one that is allowed to unfold?

Myself? I’ve learned a few lessons or two. Most prominently – that where heart is lacking, will shall carry us through. And, that peace is restored through humbled step.

Likewise, and in spite of what we might wish to believe – the unexpected is a blessing, not something to be feared.

My darlings, I hope that I’ve left you feeling absolutely loved.

In peace…

Namaste ❤️

From Maya Angelou, “I’ve Learned.”

“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I’ve 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.

I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.

I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.”

I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.

I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
