Still I rise

Let's not do that thing where I say it's been a while since I've posted.

It's boring. 

Let's just rise. 

Rise like Maya Angelou did, out of everything and get on with it. 

Last week the world lost a truly incredible writer and mind and a truly incredible voice for humankind (it is coincidence my rhyming here, I tell you). I've been watching videos of Maya over the last few days and she has certainly lifted my spirits as she did for many people all around the world for decades.

So today I think, no one can say it better than Maya - so here's a piece of my favourite poetry in spoken word. May you rise to see another day and may you sass it all the way.
