On my journey now, Mount Zion
Well I wouldn’t take nothing, Mount Zion
For my journey now, Mount Zion
Some people touch your life without ever sharing a physical embrace. That is how one person described the impact of Maya Angelou’s presence in our world. She was an example of strength, gentleness and sage wisdom wrapped in the beauty of her words and her smile. Her courage to love all of God’s children helped me to nurture my own love for all people. Her skilled words on paper as a poet and a writer about her life and living increased my faith and strengthened my resolve to keep pressing toward the mark. Her gentle voice was a reminder of the power of civility and kindness in a sometimes difficult world. She demonstrated that the power of words spoken or written could share strength, promote courage and elevate people. We will miss her presence but honor her memory with staying on our journey of faith and loving all of God’s people along the way.
Dr. Maya Angelou 1928 – 2014
