My wish for you all is the peace, love and joy of this Season.
This quote from Dr. King seems particularly apt as we head into an election year..
Here is the true meaning and value of compassion and nonviolence, when it helps us to see the enemy’s point of view, to hear his questions, to know his assessment of ourselves. For from his view we may indeed see the basic weaknesses of our own condition, and if we are mature, we may learn and grow and profit from the wisdom of the brothers who are called the opposition.
–Martin Luther King, Jr., “Beyond Vietnam”, 4 April 1967, Riverside Church, New York City
I’ll be back Monday.
