Born January 31, 1953 – Rev. Rebecca Guile Hudson – Died January 30, 2048
HeRe, tell the truth,
liEs The Right Reverend Hudson
reBorn almost a century ago –
thE time was winter,
suCh long, long hours
baCk in cold, cold days
clAndestine rape
SaFety was unim-
poRtant for women
whO were married –
noNe spoke of
suCh
thIngs back
thEn
By God! This woman
refUsed to let that
get In the way of
her Living –
she Excelled at life
AlcHemist,
she Understood her birth
diD not define or restrict
her Self, her choices, her
lOve, her presence, or her death – she
kNew, with certainty: only truth is true!
Nota Bene – January 30, 2048 is the 100th anniversary of Gandhi’s assassination
We Thank All That Is Good She Was Here!
