dr. king would have been 81 this past friday, but we celebrate his life today.
the holiday in his name is one that is celebrated differently by different people. some do service, some go skiing, some go hunting…
i like to listen to his “i have a dream” speech and stevie’s rendition of “happy birthday” at least once as i reflect on how far we’ve come, how far we’ve left go and my role in continuing the dream.
we’ve got so far to go before we reach the mountain top. so far before we’re free.
I am partial to James Taylor’s “Shed A Little Light.” It is haunting and lyrical and never fails to give me chills as I think about a great man. I hope Monday was meaningful in all ways.
Really enjoying the blog!
