“But still, like dust, I’ll rise.” — Dr. Maya Angelou, "Still I Rise"
On #BlackPoetryDay, we celebrate generations of Black poets whose words have preserved our histories, challenged injustice, imagined freedom, and shaped our culture.
Whose poetry has stayed with you?

"I think there is a native tranquility within each of us that's already there. And through quieting your mind and your heart, you can slip right down into it."

Rumi, born Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi (1207–1273), was a Persian poet, mystic, Islamic scholar, and spiritual teacher whose words have echoed across centuries. Born in Balkh and later settling in Konya, he spent much of his life teaching religion before his transformative encounter with the wandering mystic Shams of Tabriz awakened a profound new dimension in his spiritual life. Through poetry, stories, and teachings, Rumi wrote deeply about divine love, longing, the soul, and the journey of returning to God. His greatest works, including the Masnavi and Divan-e Shams, made him one of the most influential mystical poets in Persian literature, and his message of love and spiritual awakening continues to reach people around the world.

"Joy is inexpressibly more than happiness. Happiness befalls people due to fate, whereas people cause joy to bloom inside themselves. Joy is plainly a good season for the heart; it is the ultimate achievement of which human beings are capable."
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

"True solitude is found in the wild places, where one is without human obligation. One’s inner voices become audible... In consequence, one responds more clearly to other lives."
Wendell Berry (so missed!) on solitude and the two great enemies of creative work: themarginalian.org/2014/12/1…

This will always be my favorite of Wendell Berry's works because it so closely mirrors the life I have tried to build

A farmer in Henry County, Kentucky, put down his pencil today.
He spent sixty years telling us to go home, stay there, and take care of what we were given.
Kentucky is quieter tonight. So is the country. Rest well, Wendell.

When Dolly Parton approached Robert Plant for permission to record her version of “Stairway to Heaven,” she reportedly worried about how he would react. Instead, Plant’s response was wonderfully simple: “Of course you can, you’re Dolly Parton.”
And somehow, that feels like the perfect answer. Dolly didn’t try to copy Led Zeppelin — she took one of rock’s most iconic songs and made it unmistakably her own, adding a touch of country, gospel, and her unmistakable voice.
Sometimes, a legend recognizing another legend is all the permission you need.
