Life's Way Of Telling Us To Catch A Wake Up

Making waves in the news at the moment is the death of Maya Angelou, I have seen it on social media everywhere. I feel like a dunce, I did not recognize her name, I had to google... Wow, this lady is credited with such profound quotes! I read through a few with a dropped jaw wishing that I could have known her, fed off her knowledge, she must have been the best friend to have! Slap me in the face with raw honesty, with truth that rips into the core, harsh reality that gets the clogs in your brain turning at the fastest pace. This fabulous lady said these words that rang in my ears like little precious flutterflies, 

 Ahhh-May-Zing! Thank you, rest in peace. 

I then went for an impromptu drive up to Eshowe. I was in my own little world looking out of the window at the beauty all around us, we arrived at the Fort Nongqayi Museum Village, where we always pop into for a cuppa,

It was all just carrying on and then I noticed a pillar at the entrance, it has always been there, I had never LOOKED at it... WHAM! In your face!

This is me right now, this is my heart, my life. Jeepers creepers, right?!

I didn't mention my feelings to anyone, I continued to the table on my merry way... I ordered a delicious cappuccino with cream... chitter chatter... Sugar? Yes? No? YES... Voila...

Shivers down my spine! 

Perhaps all of this means more to me than to any of you, maybe you think I'm reading into things, maybe I'm seeking perspective and finding what was always there? Who knows or cares?! This shit bit my bum hard and I'm happy that it did! 

I will treasure these little quotes for a while, I will draw inspiration from them, I will be a better person (I hope) and that is all we can ask for and work towards.
