Love liberates

Dr. Maya Angelou once said:

"Love liberates. It doesn’t bind. Love says, ‘I love you. I love you if you’re in China. I love you if you’re across town. I love you if you’re in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I’d like to have your arms around me. I’d like to hear your voice in my ear. But that’s not possible now, so I love you."

Today would have been her 90th birthday. Not only one of my favourite poets, but such an amazing and powerfully spoken woman.
