It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
(Excerpt from Maya Angelou’s poem, “Phenomenal Woman”)

She poses peacefully, and she is phenomenal.
She embraces her vulnerability
with the courage to be seen, naked and strong.
She knows she’s worthy of love and connection.
I dedicate my latest painting,
an interpretation of Modigliani’s “Female Nude”
to phenomenal women everywhere.

I was successful in borrowing a copy of "TRANSCENDENCE" today from the Chicago Public Library. Now I especially look forward to reading the chapter on story telling.
