Leeway Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Here's an Angelou quote that seems appropriate here: Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

page Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Ah, I feel terribly sad hearing about this. I am a big fan of hers."'Lying, thinking, last night; how to find my soul a home, where water is not thirsty and bread loaf is not stone. I came up with one thing and I don't believe I'm wrong; that nobody, but nobody, can make it out here alone." from 'Alone' - Maya Angelou R.I.P. dear Maya Edited May 28, 2014 by page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disaac Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Page -- that's a beautiful choice and one should resonate with everyone -- contrary to the beliefs of some, we are all in this together. One of many wonderful legacies she leaves us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
