“The whole universe encourages my very being…”

Written and Read by Dear Black Women Founder Flo

Inspired by the life and memory of Sandra Bland and the many many many sisters just as fierce and powerful as her, who would want us to be reminded that we are always loved.

The whole universe encourages my very being…
— Flo

When the sun arose this morning

It woke up from a dream of me

And when its rays beamed today,

They were smiling at my face

Yes, the whole universe encourages

My very being

It sops up and savors

My every quirk and flaw

Yes, the whole universe leaps

At the chance to love me

And, like a love that won't quit,

Shows up everyday to proclaim its love

Starting with the sun that greets me

At every break of dawn

Burning to kiss my body,

Beaming to light the way

Moving to the moon that echoes

The all knowing of the sun

Urging the stars to join in,

Moving the tides to whisper: You are ALWAYS loved.
