When our son was starting to study the classics in high school, one of the books he was assigned was Maya Angelou’s ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.’ He said to me, ‘mom, why is she so famous?’
I replied, ‘She’s one of a group of women who overcame great hardship, then waited for their souls to heal so they could make a place in the world. Instead of breaking them, their tragedies made them stronger.’
Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, even Princess Diana—these are examples of women who wait to heal, a few among the inspiring many. They are the soul healers. As Angelou said, ‘If your soul needs healing send it my way. I’ll give it some rainbow.’ (Or words to that effect.)
