“I Open My Mouth To The Lord And I
Will Go, I Shall Go And See What The End Will Be” Dr. Maya Angelou
sang this at the funeral of the late Ms. Coretta King and when I
heard those words again today in remembering her passing I thought to
myself this is not a sadness nor a death but this is someone who
traveled the journey of Life with her personal eyes, soul, and mind
constantly searching for what the next path the Lord had for her and
how she would be used by him. Eighty- Six years of soul traveling,
experiences, hardships, challenges, obstacles, joys and thrills and
now her time on earth is complete. I have studied some of the poems
and writing of Dr. Angelou and for me the most important thing I got
from her life is to have that space within yourself where only you
and God dwell. To have a sanctuary where no one is allowed in to that
part of your heart and soul but God because he deserves a sacrificial
place to fellowship to dwell with you. It teaches you about who you
really are in the silence of holiness and it brings out your
creativity, peace of mind and eternal joy. When you have that inside
you then it helps you to love better, walk more in confidence and
grace and it helps you to have more empathy for your neighbor. What
the world needs more of is empathy, love and prayer. And if we can
learn anything from Dr. Maya's life it is to be a little kinder and
to pray for the people in our own circle and around the world. Life
well done Dr. Angelou you where the grandmother of wisdom for this
generation.
