When it seems that the world is crashing towards the real apocalypse these days, I imagine two angels watching over us from the roofs of empty cities. Well, I know they are just fictional characters, but somehow it helps. And I beleive that everything is going to be alright eventually.

Malcolm X and Maya Angelou in Ghana, 1964.

Malcolm X on his last visit to Accra had announced a desire to create a foundation he called the Organization of Afro-American Unity. His proposal included taking the plight of the African-Americans to the United Nations and asking the world council to intercede on the part of beleaguered blacks. The idea was so stimulating to the community of African-American residents that I persuaded myself I should return to the States to help establish the organization. 

We all read Malcolm’s last letter to me. Dear Maya, I was shocked and surprised when your letter arrived but I was also pleased because I only had to wait two months for this one whereas previously I had to wait almost a year. You see I haven’t lost my wit. (smile) Your analysis of our people’s tendency to talk over the head of the masses in a language that is too far above and beyond them is certainly true. You can communicate because you have plenty of (soul) and you always keep your feet firmly rooted on the ground. I am enclosing some articles that will give you somewhat of an idea of my daily experiences here and you will then be better able to understand why it sometimes takes me a long time to write. I was most pleased to learn that you might be hitting in this direction this year. You are a beautiful writer and a beautiful woman. You know that I will always do my utmost to be helpful to you in any way possible so don’t hesitate. Signed Your brother Malcolm

The entire black community needs therapy. I said what I said.

“Who says that you must do what everyone else does? Who says that you must be a certain way to be considered ‘normal?’ What is it that makes this so? No one. Regardless of your skills, interests, or talents; you are phenomenal. No matter your hair colour, eye colour, or height; you are attractive. What ever your knowledge, experience, and time spent on this earth; you are taking it at the pace that is meant for you. You are amazing. Please, give yourself more credit.”

what is a muse? ive always wondered why, but i never really understood.

The common definition is a woman whose beauty (or other attributes) inspires a male writer. There are, of course, also the muses of Greek Mythology (you can google them). Number seven is my favorite. She’s called Euterpe and is the muse of music. I’ve written about her twice:

“her love like a dove descended down from heaven, how miraculous she is, of muses number seven; she’s that which my soul has ever ached to see: virtuous, beauteous, delightfully free; my chorister sweet, my fair-flowing strain, she let’s me know with her eyes that my love’s not in vain”

and...

“her eyes toward the sky of muses number seven fair melodies of her lyre praising the glory of heaven”
