I Rise!

I love... truly love... Dr. Maya Angelou. This piece from the CBS morning show features her poem "I Rise" at the end of a terrific reflection on the meaning of the events of last week.

It's nearly eight minutes long (Dr. Angelou comes on about half way in)... and it's worth taking the time to visit.

Thanks to Engima4ever for bringing this clip to my attention. On her blog she has also placed a link to the letter Alice Walker (another of my great loves and deepest sheroes) wrote to the President Elect. It too is awesome and lovely and worth the time it takes to read.

What a great moment in time! THIS is what it feels like to be alive.
