Brave & Startling #559

Maya Angelou’s poem “A Brave and Startling Truth” envisions a world of peace and harmony, free from violence, hatred, and destruction. The poem challenges humanity to confront its contradictions and embrace its potential to create a better world. The poem concludes with the question: “When we come to it, we must confess that we are the possible, we are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world. That is when, and only when, we come to it.”
