Maya Angelou here!

I wish to open myself to you, and to reveal the essence of life, of yours and of mine, as we commune and communicate together. Any questions?

Do you really insist other people use the title "Dr." before your name, even though all you have are honorary doctorates?
Dearest soul at R1, we are all doctors in a way, healing each other's souls, tending to the wounds of our collective psyches, creating the path for our shared healings.

Love her. She ain't perfect, but she's a pretty dammed amazing woman. Despite the Oprah connection. And within her poem "I Rise" I see not only downtrodden black people but downtrodden gay people as well. At least in parts. [quote]You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise.
She was quoting Pigpen in Peanuts, R3!
Wasn't Pigpen gay? I heard he and Schroeder were a couple. Poor Lucy.
Have you ever seen Oprah naked? If so, is she nicely hung? Cut or uncut?
You once had so much to say about the Butterfinger, Dr. Angelou. Have you moved on to other candy treats worthy of poetic praise? Please share.
You can open yourself, but please keep your legs together.
Wasn't she supposed to die on December 21st?
LOL @ R9!
What do you feel about that hot Cubano piece of hottness who stole your thunder? do you think he's a bottom or a top?
Why don't you act more often? Surely someone of your prodigious talents must be compelled to share them wit the masses. Also, will you please say "good morning" to us gays as only you can?
I Rise!

How much for a handjob?
R12 Good morning, gurl! Rise! Rise! RISE!

R2 speaks Truth. Love and light, Dr. 'There's An Angel In All of us" Angelou
Someone needs to go to Starbucks and get me a fucking Espresso. NOW.

I know WHY the caged bird sings.

My friends, it worries me so, the negativity and dissonance I see and read in these threads. We must collectively know that where the sun meets the moon is our ultimate destination, and we are but the bubbling of the brook and creek and the joy of a small puppy on a warm summer morning. Go and share that delicious wonder inside of you.

That woman was the meanest, rudest person I ever met. She was a regular patron at a restaurant I managed back in the 90s. I hated her, hated her, hated her.

Dr. Maya Angelou, You are the great and powerful. You are all knowing. We are not worthy to be in your presence. We come before you as humble, obedient servants. My dog and I want to return to Kansas. Please help up get home.

Do "I Rise" and Donna Brazile get it on?
right before she became inspired

Adding to r24's question, how long would it take to speak your statement as opposed to typing it? Hours? Days? Months?
As you age, has it become more difficult to rise?
