‘’Still I Rise” —Maya Angelou

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. - Harriet “Moses” Tubman

My National Anthem! GOD is good every day! It is a blessing to be BLACK!😊✌🏽❤️💛

Love her poems but that is as far as it goes... she died married to a Caucasian man. I can't respect that. She witnessed our plight. She saw the struggle. She went through the horrors of a man that looked like her but never overcame it. She died defeated.

She is why I legally changed my name to Maya.

Love her

When they thought they humbled me but my ego respawned: STILL I RISE

Very nice 😊

💓

Still one of the great poetic performances

I immediately opened by volume of poetry by W. B. Yeats to purify my brain.

Beautiful 💙

In true reflection— self not apart; winds carry infinite cloud blooms. * आत्मैक्यम् सर्वभूतेषु वहन्त्यनिलपङ्क्तयः। मेघपुष्पैः नभो रङ्ग्यं चैतन्यैकं प्रवर्तते॥ * 風の道 雲花ひらく 身も空も. * पवन चले जहँ ओर से मनवा उड़े अधीर। बादर में जे फूल हैं ओही जीव शरीर॥

Vision an artist- Dare devil, courage to swim Self's whim, to joys brim. * दृष्टिरूपकला दैत्यसाहसं स्वेच्छानदीं स्वमन्ती सुखसागरं। * 視野芸術家 敢魔勇泳ぐ 自我気まぐれ喜満. * कलाकार के दृष्टि दानव साहस स्वयं के मनमानी धारा मा तैरल। सुख के किनार भरल मोह माया के जाल भंग।

Self-awareness sparks— eternal flame of knowing, mind births the being. * * आत्मसंवित्तिः स्फुलिङ्गति चित्सदाग्निः, ज्ञानज्वाला मनः सत्तां जनयति। * * 自己覚知火花 永遠の知の炎 心が生む存在。 * * अपन जान के चिनगारी ज्ञान के सदा ज्वाला मनवा सत्ता जनत बा।
