Upile Chisala – July 26, Iyengar III

From a Malawian poet, we all need to hear this from time to time.

You are beautiful

and your wings are made of things they threw in

your face,

the things that were meant to make you

even smaller

in this big universe.

But you wove them together,

those wretched old things,

and made something of your own.

What a beautiful creature you are.

What a beautiful creature you've always been.
