Dr. King said:
“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality….I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”

Thank you for your courage and your wisdom, Dr. King.

I want to remember:
that hope uplifts my spirit;
and connection warms my bones;
how joy bubbles in my heart.
what tenderness and kindness toward a so-called adversary looks like.
what thoughtfulness and graciousness is.
the power of great mental focus combined with compassion.
what patience and trust on the part of an entire segment of humanity can accomplish.
that peaceful transformation is possible.
how togetherness of a million plus people can bring hope to the world.
how celebration spread across the world.
