With the certainty of tides
Just like hopes springing high
Still I'll rise..."

you need to be able to throw something back." ~Maya Angelou

~Maya Angelou 

Thank you, Maya, 

for all the insight,
wisdom, beauty, strength and inspiration 

you and your amazing words have given me.

 May your words live on into eternity.

  You are one of those who taught me
how to always 

 ...live beautifully.
