No one ever influenced me more than Stanley Crouch. As a young woman I was blessed to be taught by him & mentored by him. He gave me my true North, with his genius & incomparable ability to see right into you & show you what is true. May he rest in peace. washingtonpost.com/local/obi…

Rest In Peace Stanley Crouch... Marianne-May these words by Helen Keller bring you comfort. “What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose. For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”

He was a friend and mentor to me too when I was a young woman. And you’re right, he was a truth-seeer and a truth teller.

Oh no... Too young. I wasn't aware of your connection to him. So sorry, he will be missed.

His writings are so relevant right now, too. Another sad loss, among so many these days.

Marianne, I'm reading a book by bell hooks, called All About Love. She mentions & quotes you several times. It's incredible to see who you've inspired and who you've been inspired by.
