Love, empathy, tolerance--also puppies, flowers, and laundry

MLK

I remember...

  • when words had power
  • when idealist was a compliment
  • when non-violence was news
  • when leaders put their lives on the line.

I miss having a leader who can inspire and unite. I'm hoping for one to appear. That leader might be a woman or an African-American. Might be a white male or even a Republican.

Hmmm, sounds like something Dr. King hoped for--judged not by the color of their skin, but by their character. Amen.
