The Master Class is a television series on the OWN channel, Oprah Winfrey Network, and on this Sunday night Dr. Maya Angelou was featured as the Master. Well, I was glued to the screen because anyone who has had a deep conversation with me knows she is the one person that blesses my soul. I first heard her speak on stage during my wayward and flirty days of college, and had an opportunity to meet her a several years back but was not in a good place. I respected her energy, and calm not to bring me near her. Yet, her smooth calmness permeates into the audience and through the television to me, when she speaks. She is resolute and deliberate with every word spoken. She choosing her words carefully, she wields her words with an exactness that only a pure orator could execute, while she corrects with a precision diplomacy that nurtures and builds you up, not destroy you. For she understands words become actions, and insinuates themselves in each our lives with a seamless accuracy and propagates like a wild fire. So, she uses her words to touch souls, inspire hearts while her wisdom provides innovate catalysts, and brings authenticity to beliefs. She puts out a feast with her words of nothing but constructive tantalizing tidbits that keeps you hanging onto your seat,and invite you to be student of life, and not a survivor of hard-knocks. She speaks, and I believe, and realizes she gets me…I am liberated and put on a natural high.
She speaks of statements that have guided her through life, and I am moved to tears. They are many but I will only present a few here, – we should all seek to be rainbows in others lives, as others have been rainbows in our…you can only be great at what you are willing to sacrifice for…love liberates, not binds…know who you are....do right....She speaks of words having power, She reference the bible, and I have found an address for them verses - John 1:1; 14 -In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God…The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (NIV)...All of this is food for my soul, and I can never get enough of it as it fuels me. She is renewable resource for me, and I pray for the double portion upon my life. She understands the great ‘It” (her words, not mind) who formed the mountains, and the sea, thought enough to create me…The WORD was God!!...I have been to the Master Class, and I am the better for attending…words are power, choose wisely...
