Recital of A Brave and Startling Truth: Poem by Maya Angelou


A homemade recording. By Selma.

I hope Maya’s poem I chose to share today touches us all in all the right places.
Also, thanks so much for your support of my debut poetry collection. I bless you.

“We are the possible
We are the miraculous–
the true wonder
of this world”

Let’s turn to our stillness within
to allow the blessings to seep in.

Thanks for your visit today.
I bless you and wish you safe and joyous festivities.
