PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

1. "RE: Maya Angelou (86)" |
When Great Trees FallWhen great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety. When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear. When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken. Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves. And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.
― Maya Angelou

Rest in peace, Maya. Two quotes I've frequently used in my class to illustrate a point: "Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it." "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."

Don't read any Internet news articles about her passing. The commentary sections...*sigh* ...you can guess. Anyway... thanks given to our laureate. And you may want to look up her Twitter account. Her final-for-now post was an interesting one. Also, since we're noting the passing of those who've affected America, let's say goodbye to Don Levine, who may have brought more people into the military than the draft. http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/don-levine-gi-joe-obituary/ I fully expect his commentary sections to go anti-Semitic within three posts.
