Morning of the day after . . .
It suddenly comes to me that we
would do well to make our New
Year's resolutions the day after
we have honored MLK and
pondered the lives of our heroes.
This yearly pondering impels us
to revisit just who we want to be
when we grow up. I know this
matters as it comes up in my life
over and over again.
From Obama, we are reminded
that we are light years beyond
the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
We must continue to grow,
defend and accept.
Bader Ginsburg and Lady Eleanor
exemplified the strength, courage,
values of womankind far and wide.
Nhat Hanh and Mother Teresa
have shown us the way to true
spirituality, its meaning and
the courage to live it. Carter
puts us all in our places with
his daily giving even in his 90s.
Methinks King and Kennedy
rightly invented the necessary
courage needed for speaking out
and they paid the ultimate price.
Behold, learn and live accordingly . . .
