I am such fan of Maya Angelou. She didn’t know me but I saw her once on a MUNI train in San Francisco. She was riding alone. I didn’t see her right away. I was looking out the window we went into a tunnel. I was staring at the darkness. As my eyes adjusted I could see her reflection and I gasped and looked over. There were others that were smiling at me having seen me wake up to her being across from me. I did not stare. I did not say anything to her. I felt her anonymity was important to her at that moment. We all did. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and just took it in. I did peek a couple times at her reflection. Her presence was felt.
The only people that were missing were #Beyonce #WhitneyHouston and #ArethaFranklin. For some reason those 3 could not be there. I know whatever they were doing was not more worthy than that once in a lifetime event. I'm sure it was something contractual that they couldn't get out of but in hindsight they should have broken those contracts. They were the only 3 that weren't there.
