:(! An absolute icon/legend. Her words have always touched me. Although she has no gone. her beautiful, moving works will live forever.

"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." <--- Words that I live by. Thank you, Maya. :(.

She accomplished so much, I can't be sad that someone became so powerful by using their intellect and talents to not only propel the civil rights movement, but to inspire others to share their gifts with the world. Maya is a blessing to all of us and I'm glad she was in the spotlight. :)

Alone

Lying, thinking

Last night

How to find my soul a home

Where water is not thirsty

And bread loaf is not stone

I came up with one thing

And I don't believe I'm wrong

That nobody,

But nobody

Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here alone.

There are some millionaires

With money they can't use

Their wives run round like banshees

Their children sing the blues

They've got expensive doctors

To cure their hearts of stone.

But nobody

No, nobody

Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here alone.

Now if you listen closely

I'll tell you what I know

Storm clouds are gathering

The wind is gonna blow

The race of man is suffering

And I can hear the moan,

'Cause nobody,

But nobody

Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here alone.
