Being Odetta
We are grateful for the life of Odetta. Her voice spoke to the people, for it was born out of them.
May her spirit forever rest with us and may we never forget that we, all of us, are the people.
I read her detailed obit. in the Times and was amazed at how much this one woman accomplished, how true to herself and her dreams she sincerely was. You are so beautiful to acknowledge her life and passing Judith.
Thank you, Cynthia. She was indeed bold and beautiful. I have always been touched my her songs and her pure love of people.
One person can accomplish a lot - indeed. Thanks for the reminder. We need only to begin and never stop. I remind myself of this daily. Fight the good fight of faith. Keep hope alive.
"And now abides faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
Odetta fought for others and hoped for a better tomorrow, but more than these she loved.
