To mark the passing of great American poet Maya Angelou, I’d like to share with you my favorite quote from her. It has thrummed in my heart for years, inspired my pursuit of beauty in daily life, and helped me focus on what matters most and what is truly fulfilling.
“Surviving is important. Thriving is elegant.” ~Maya Angelou
Wise words from a lady filled with nourishing turns of phrase.
I hope that whatever you are facing that threatens your survival, you are able in fact to thrive. I hope you find ways to reassemble your broken pieces into something even more beautiful than before. Glean both gentle inspiration and bold strokes of electric genius, at just the right times.
Do you have a favorite quote or poem from Ms. Angelou? I’d love for you to share it here.
Sending much love from the Lazy W.
