I've decided to start a "100 ideas" project
http://www.kerismith.com/funstuff/100ideas.htm & see how far I can get. why? something to spark a little creative wire & keep my brain waves moving.
I picked #5 & 55 (yes I think I'll do 2 a day) & see if the John & the kids want to participate:) sooo my poet of choice for today's #5:
Maya Angelou. She's such an inspiration & has always intrigued me. I love to hear her talk & read her words. This poem we read at our wedding & I'll put it in my 100 ideas journal:
Touched by An Angel by Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
