Taking Root: The Vision Of Wangari Maathai. Filmmakers: Alan Dater, Lisa Merton, 2008.

Raxeira, raxeira between you and me,

my boundaries are whispers

of a blessing gaia herself adorns

Shall we meet our palms, eyes, lips, hearts at the face

Of this realm ?

I keep forgetting to post these here. Anyways

Still halfway to nowhere, still nothing today

Beauty

Those I love say they're proud of me, now

Tail-end of 8 months in infinity

I don't look for their words of affection.

I'm not scared to be ugly

In the way women are taught to be

All sunshine and beauty.

I do not doubt now,

That I may in fact be beautiful -

I am Beautiful

Not because I'm pretty

I don't turn heads when I walk the room

I'm hardly precious in dear finery.

What's more,

My hair doesn't always flirt with

The wind, my feet don't know how to

make love to the earth and grass, the show

Doesn't please lusty onlookers.

I pause when I see beauty,

A pleasant surprise waiting within me -

I don't wait to achieve anymore

I revel in my company.

I've learnt to hold friends tightly,

Look them in the eyes so

They may smile from inside me.

I forgive my family,

So they may not hurt any

Longer than I can help, for

all that I love about their journey.

I don't rest in the past anymore

I don't pine for a whimsy future

I'm elated to just be

And in being, I achieve me.
