Maya Angelou

#mayaangelou #poesia #cctmwebsite #anoipiaceleggere #leggere

“You can kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I’ll rise.”

Woorden van Maya Angelou (1928–2014), die blijven resoneren.
Hoe hard sommigen ook proberen om het goede, het mooie, het kwetsbare te verpletteren — het blijft groeien. Net als in de natuur.

Het leven zoekt altijd een weg.
Het goede zoekt altijd een weg.

En dus: blijf opstaan.
Blijf groeien.
Blijf bloeien.

#NewInkDay: Diamine Hope Pink in the Lamy 2000. Went for "Still I Rise" by Mary Angelou.

An unapologetic poem, vibrant with life, to go with a audaciously pink ink.

I think the world would be a better place if we all learned to laugh like we've got gold mines diggin' in our own backyards.
