Could anything be more beautiful than Martin Luther King Day and the inauguration of President Obama side by side in 2009?
My favorite MLK quote:
“Darkness cannot dispel darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot defeat hate; only love can do that.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
Just thinking about how joyful the scene must be at the White House and in Washington DC, and surrounding the family and friends of President Obama today! The world can bask and enjoy this moment, and what better time could it be? To be present and enjoy a release from recent economic fears and sorrows. Let it all go for today, for this week, maybe forever, and allow hope and freedom to seep into you today. Dr. King and President Obama remind us that this can manifest at anytime for any one of us and for all of us collectively.
A Poem by Maya Angelou:
“Touched by an Angel”
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves it’s high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love’s light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
THEN, LISTEN TO THIS AWESOME TUNE AND DANCE YOUR HEART OUT!
Peace & Warm Light to you all today,
Jeannine
