First of all, thanks to our blog-readers in Bulgaria and Honduras. I've been to one of those countries-Bulgaria, though it was when I was a child 35 years ago. And, I've been close to Honduras with visits to Belize and Guatemala.
Today, we are quoting the great poet Maya Angelou who turned 84 yesterday. This is also National Poetry Month in America.
Angelou spent several years in Ghana during the 1960s. The poet, who is also known for being a Civil Rights activist, has in recent years been a professor at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, and she recited her poem "On the Rushes of Morning" during Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993.
Here is her quote:
"Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean."
