Maya Angelou

I just read 2 chapters of a book written by Maya Angelou. What caught my eye was this short part, "Theresa, we don't mean to disturb you..." the man whispered, "but you all seem to be having such a good time..."
The woman added, "we hear you and your friends laughing every Saturday night, and we'd just like to watch you. We don't want to bother you. We'll be quiet and just watch."
The man said, "If you'll just leave your door ajar, your friends don't need to know. We'll never make a sound." Aunt Tee said she saw no harm in agreeing, and she talked it over with her company. They said it was OK with them, but it was sad that the employers owned the gracious house, the swimming pool, three cars, and numberless palm trees, but had no joy. Aunt Tee told me that laughter and relaxation had left the house; she agreed it was.

I think that was a lesson that money and power doesn't bring happiness and joy. you don't have to live wealthy and good to live well. Just to love life. Living life as art requires a readiness to forgive. We know nothing and we do not know what is going to happen next. Life is pure adventure, life is art. We don't know when are cars will fail or buses will stall or whether places of employment will still be there when we arrive. Life is a journey.
