With all the bedlam, chaos and hullabaloo going on now, I forgot that this day honors a man who spoke for the very opposite.
Peace/Violence two days apart.
We need to do better.

Beautiful. Words to take to heart. It should be the default action, and it’s confounding that it isn’t.

Leadership, these days, is a rare thing. Violence is the “easy” solution. Human history, too often, took the easy way. Evolution is really slow for some people.

Great quote.
If everyone buys into it – and everyone has the same understanding of the key words – the words at the end of each line. Sigh. What a mess things are. I think Martin would be astounded, sad, and disturbed. All we can do is continue to try.

Good choice from so many wise words from MLK. It’s particularly appropriate to hear his thoughts right now.

I agree dear Beth. Martin Luther King Jr. would not approve of the ways the USA people are acting. This is the USA. Land of the free. We use to get along.
