Great words to live by

I recently came across this from one of my favorite Black Sheroes

Be not earthbound
You have but to take off 
From the shoulders of the 
elders where you now
stand

Make connection with your 
spirit
Capture your wildest
dreams
And the longings of your 
people
Use all that you have 
learned

Reach out to the people
you meet
Make connections with the 
words they speak and the 
strong values you hold 
dear
Goodness, truth, faith,
kinship, justice

Dare to make a better
world
that brings together all our 
strengths, the knowledge 
you acquire and the 
creations that blossom 
from your efforts 
Remember that we are all 
connected to one another
and to this awesome 
universe
Live well-Grow well

You are the energy that 
will drive the emerging 
Global community 
Your love, your caring 
your values; your 
connections to the eternal 
Will serve you well as you shape the future
