WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO GIVE THANKS TO A WOMEN WHO WORDS DID MORE THAN TELL A STORY. MAYA ANGELOU INSPIRED PEOPLE WITH HER STORIES AND GAVE US HOPE IN THE SHADOWS OF DESPAIR. SHE WAS THE EMBODIMENT OF POETRY, THE ESSENCE OF A LADY.  COMMITTED, PASSIONATE AND DEDICATED ARE BUT A FEW ATTRIBUTES WHICH DESCRIBE A GREAT HUMAN BEING WHO I WILL CHERISH AND ALWAYS HOLD DEAR TO MY HEART.  I DID NOT KNOW YOU BUT WHAT I KNOW ABOUT YOU IS ENOUGH FOR ME.  SO I’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE OUT THERE ONE OF MY FAVORITE PIECES FROM HER ARCHIVES. “I RISE”, BY MAYA ANGELOU. (REST IN PEACE) YOU WILL BE TRULY MISSED.

Naturally Beautiful

THE ESSENCE OF A PAINTING

I can identify with this portrait in so many different ways.

The unique brushwork itself, projects the contrast between the

intense energy of living in process and the natural chain of

events that lead me to this very point. Harmony stand beside

me interpreting the scene on it’s own terms. Each stroke of his

technique is fluent and natural as the lift beneath a butterfly

wings on a cool Spring day.

Each color make the plants and willow leaves come to life,

but aged with vigor and spice they create vivid pastels that

mask the terrains in a way that only a few of us would dare

to comprehend.  Miraculously I can vision huge weeping willow

trees bending gracefully beneath a mountain’s peak, right next

to fishes swimming in the spirit nourished streams that flow

over rocks and sand, between trees and soil, beneath clouds

and rain, far far beyond the great lakes…Somewhere hidden

behind the jagged cliffs which lie silently beside fields of hope

that stretches as far as the eye can see.

The rainbows translucent essence enhances the artist touch,

which allows the ultra violet rays of the sun to praise natures

mild intent.  The order is quickly extinguished by urban tapestry

and lights; thus, we speak of sculpture, literature and music as

a source of expression. Vaguely can I recall a time in my simple

existence of such beauty and mystic. Or a song filled with passion

or a whisper so sweet.

This picture reminds me of a time in my life when I wasn’t

really sure. It’s the anchor of a play, a fisher’s lure. Such a

conversation piece at a period when man has digressed, my

confidence saved by nobleness. Should I stand against this?

My dying pain…my only wish. It brings me sadness when rains

in contrast, from harm to bliss. Will the colors fade off the canvas

of life? Will I count the waves from a pier tonight?

On an evening exact, I’ve been called to speak. Not to criticize

my fellow man from his faults or to ridicule his speech. A cause

to be free, as I lapse back in time. I can feel a virgin in the wind and

taste the passion of her mind. At last, I pray alone on my knees adrift’

at night, and watch the sunrise as it sleeps on the horizon…i dare recite.
