"A word is a thing. It is non-visible and audible only for the time it's there. It hangs in the air. But I believe it is a thing. I believe it goes into the upholstery, and into the rugs, and into my hair and into my clothes. Finally, even into my body. I believe that words are things. And I live on them."
-Maya Angelou
(from a conversation with Dave Chappelle on Iconoclasts)
I just needed some inspiration. I always find it in the words of Dr. Angelou - be they extemporaneous, prose, poem or song.
Off to write some more...
