A few notes from Maya Angelou’s Rainbow in the Cloud
The Black Child must learn early to allow laughter
to fill his mouth or the million small cruelties he
encounters will congeal and clog his throat.
Awien commented on how “some people don’t survive being black, some people cannot take it”
What child can resist a mother who laughs freely and often?
Reminds me of the expression; “the greatest gift that you can give your child is your happiness”
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.
One can seemingly flick to any page in this collection and find a gem to sit on.
