At our cores, each and every one of us is connected to what’s been described as a being of infinite love. We are all parts of a whole much larger than any one of us. In the words of another man named King (Rodney), “Can’t we all get along?” Right now, it doesn’t seem like we can, but as English theologian Thomas Fuller wrote in 1650, “It’s always darkest before the dawn”.
The problem is that it takes everyone on both sides working together to keep the peace, but it only takes a small part of one side working alone to ignite a war.
Today is MLK day, which I appreciate, and my granddaughter’s 10th birthday, which I celebrate. There was some other event today, but I forgot what it is. Couldn’t’a been too important…
Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) said, “Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me”. The quote is from his poem, First They Came, which is a protest against apathy and a call for people to recognize their common humanity.
