I needed to have a golden yellow scarf for today for the funeral of our choir member who died in March. He was a staunch Cornishman and wanted us to wear black and golden yellow, Cornish colours, and yesterday I found this beauty, yellow gold with purple, white and green – just perfect. It was a beautiful Ceremony, full of singing and joy as well as some tears, a real celebration of a life well lived.
Come, and be my BabyThe highway is full of big carsgoing nowhere fastAnd folks is smoking anything that’ll burnSome people wrap their lies around a cocktail glassAnd you sit wonderingwhere you’re going to turnI got it.Come. And be my baby.Some prophets say the world is gonna end tomorrowBut others say we’ve got a week or twoThe paper is full of every kind of blooming horrorAnd you sit wonderingWhat you’re gonna do.I got it.Come. And be my baby.

In King’s up to the mountain speech, it almost feels as if he knew the end was near… love the scarf, the show of colors must have magnificent… Maya Angelou made us feel, and as she said we remember her for that!

The show of colours was lovely – a sea of Cornish black and gold, a fitting end for a true Cornish soul. 🙂

I enjoyed listening to the Google tribute to Maya Angelou today. What a life she had.

Me too, a fascinating biography – and to hear her reading Still I Rise – perfect. 🙂
