Remembering…MLK JR.

“We must rapidly begin the shift from a ‘thing-oriented’ society to a ‘person-oriented’ society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

“Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”


Pity the Nation

Pity the nation whose people are sheep, and whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced, and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice, except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as hero and aims to rule the world with force and by torture.
Pity the nation that knows no other language but its own and no other culture but its own.
Pity the nation whose breath is money and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.
Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode and their freedoms to be washed away.? My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.
- Lawrence Ferlinghetti (Pity The Nation)

New Life- Harper Lily

My new niece, Harper Lily Smith ::  What a precious gift :: My soul magnifies the LORD.

Psalm 145:1-8

I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you
and extol your name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.
4 One generation commends your works to another;
they tell of your mighty acts.
5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
6 They tell of the power of your awesome works—
and I will proclaim your great deeds.
7 They celebrate your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in love.

Young Me/Now Me

Randomly came across this.  One word- AWESOME!  (If I had two words, AWESOME & CREEPY!)

Which one is your favorite? Post answer in comments.


growing is forever

I love this video.  What a great reminder that our souls yearn to stretch and grow.  Humans aren’t dissimilar to trees in that if we put down deep roots, love, and surround ourselves with other trees, community, we create beautiful and thriving echo systems.

Love. Joy. Peace.
