Elder & Ancestor Wisdom
My wish for you
Is that you continue
Continue
To be who and how you are
To astonish a mean world
With your acts of kindness
Continue
To allow humor to lighten the burden
Of your tender heart
Continue
In a society dark with cruelty
To let the people hear the grandeur
Of God in the peals of your laughter
Continue
To remind the people that
Each is as good as the other
And that no one is beneath
Nor above you
Continue
To plant a public kiss of concern
On the cheek of the sick
And the aged and infirm
And count that as a
Natural action to be expected
Continue
To ignore no vision
Which comes to enlarge your range
And increase your spirit
Continue
To dare to love deeply
And risk everything
For the good thing
Maya Angelou

Thank you! I LOVE this. Adding ‘continue’ to my list of important words for this time – persist, endure, create, imagine….
I so agree Merrilee…I have a whole new concept of this word! Everyone of these posts Judith has such deep meaning! Thank you for sending them…I am creating a binder of them all.
This is delightful, litanous work. Thank you for accurately getting and responding to our need.
Can I get a heck yes! Louder for the people in the back!
