When I interviewed Maya Angelou,

she told me to write this sentence

on my notepad

and to never forget it-

“Every storm runs out of rain.”

I still think of that

line to this day.

~Alex Banayan

somewhere in between the despair we see and the hope we seek…

inquiry for today~ may you measure your way with an open melancholy…

when wise words are few

You may encounter many defeats,

but you must not be defeated.

In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats,

so you can know who you are,

what you can rise from,

how you can still come out of it.

~Maya Angelou
