There's alot of crap going on isn't there? Dr. King would be the first to address it. Wars, terrorism, poverty, discrimination. He would bring it to our attention. Yet he would also call us toward hope and optimism. He who had helped so many to overcome so much would urge us to do the same one more time- or as many times as it takes. There are two images stuck in my mind from today. His granddaughter standing in the front of the tomb of her noble grandparents. Grandparents she will never know on the Earthplane. It is cold and yet she is beaming. Hope, optimism. The next image is of two daughters serenading their mother on her birthday. The mother just happens to be the First Lady of the USA. Again they are beaming. Hope and optimism. Could those be two of the ingredients to solving our problems? We need those spiritual bifocals that Pastor Peter Marshall talked about so long ago. We need to see things as they are and we need to see them as they could be. Through the eyes of three little girls. Through the eyes of hope and optimism. Dr. King would expect no less.
In Peace, Love, and Light,
Enoch
