44. The Most Amazing Thing

    Extractions: by David Frost David Frost: And one of your teachers, one of your religious teachers, said made you say, "God loves me, God loves me, God loves me," again and again, and then said, "Now try to know it." Maya Angelou: Yes, yes. DF: What was the liberating effect of knowing it? MA: David Frost. DF: Maya Angelou. MA: As the cockney say, "I come all over queer." Really. The idea that it, this creation, creator, it, loves me, me not me generically, but me, Maya Angelou is almost more it is more than I can comprehend. It fills me. It enters and makes me go inflate like a balloon. Really. The most amazing thing. I can't know it too frequently. I can't know it completely. My heart might burst. My veins might boil up, and my blood might boil up in my veins. My eyes would pop out. My navel would thump. My feet would grow about six inches on either side. Really it has a physiological impact on me. And I can't again, it's something I can't explain. It's probably what people mean when they say, "I got saved last week or last year." I suppose that's what they mean. But that knowledge comes to me fresh each time, as if I never knew it before. DF: In your poem to the U.N., you said, "We, this people, on a small and lonely plant traveling through casual space, passed a lot of stars, across a way of indifferent suns to a destination where all signs tell us it is possible and imperative that we discover a brave and startling truth."

    Extractions: Anna K. Bartow Adolescence is a period in a person’s life when interest, thoughts, and preoccupation with the self is high. What better moment is there to cash in on students’ thoughts about themselves and their lives than when they are in high school? At this time they begin to see themselves as somewhat separate from their families, and they can reflect back on their “youth” as well as give serious thought to their future. In the past I have had fascinating experiences with students’ thinking and writing when I asked them to write an odyssey of their life as a final project for a course on the Odyssey by Homer. Many students, who felt that other kinds of writing were boring, cumbersome, and difficult, could write pages of interesting composition about their own lives. Autobiography, in all its variations, is a natural extension of this process. I am basing this unit of autobiography on the novels of Maya Angelou. Students who study this unit will be asked to read I Know Why The Caged

    Extractions: Tragic Health Burden for Minorities The Maya Angelou Research Center on Minority Health at Wake Forest University School of Medicine is addressing one of the most compelling demographic trends in modern American history—the increasing diversity of the U.S. population. By 2050, the country will be split almost evenly between non-Hispanic Whites and all other minority groups. Initially focused on African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and American Indians, the expertise developed at the Angelou Center will position it as a key national resource to reduce the gap in health disparities for an increasingly diverse society. One year before the Angelou Center opened in 2002, Congress authorized a National Healthcare Disparities Report by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The AHRQ, in tandem with the Institute of Medicine, identified key issues for study related to health disparities for racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S.—the role of socioeconomic status, access to care, quality of services, and geography. The urgency behind the federal mandate is based on these facts: The gap between blacks and whites in (age-adjusted) death rate from all causes has decreased only slightly from 1950 to 2000.

    Extractions: “Find some poetry. Memorize it. Keep it for yourself so you can pull it up—not from the computer, but from the original computer—when you need it. And you will need it.” —Maya Angelou A rainbow found its way into the Indiana University Auditorium in Bloomington on April 11 in the form of Maya Angelou, whose lecture was co-sponsored by Union Board and the Indiana Lectures series. “’When it looked like the sun / wasn’t going to shine anymore, / God put a rainbow / in the clouds,’” she quoted from an old spiritual. “I think the university is a rainbow in the clouds,” said Angelou, who shared a potpourri of poetry, stories and childhood memories with those listeners lucky enough to have a seat in the filled auditorium. Nowand then, she even offered her voice in song—a rich contralto—in celebration of poetry. “I’m what the French call a ‘certain age,’” she told the audience and went on to say that she had left Winston-Salem, N.C., at 6 a.m. on a bus to get to Bloomington. On the way, there were stopovers in Indianapolis and Columbus, but she didn’t mind. “I like Indianapolis because my favorite poet lives there,” Angelou explained, referring to Mari Evans, who taught black literature at IU and received an honorary doctorate at last year’s IUPUI commencement.

The Stoicism of Aurelius is grounded in rationality and rests solidly on an ethical approach rooted in nature. Stoicism promises real happiness and joy in this life and a serenity that can never be soured by personal misfortune. This philosophy has universal appeal with practical implications on problems ranging from climate change and terrorism to the personal management of sickness, aging, depression and addiction. I truly believe that the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius has much to offer us now...(Click on book cover for more)
