a birthday fit for a king

Martin Luther King Jr. and Thich Nhat Hanh, 1966

My youngest and I have been listening to and exploring the powerful words of Stevie Wonder’s Happy Birthday. Stevie wrote the song in his campaign to establish the national holiday we will be celebrating tomorrow.  

I know I’m not the only one with deep feels this year, this climate is raw.  It has me trying to remain hopeful and calm, not just fearful and swimming in anger.

Have a listen.  Let it lightly lift you into the realm of joy.  

May we remain steady in our love and be examples of peace in such disturbing times, just as the monks are radiating in their DC walk, and as Thich Nhat Hanh and others skillfully illustrated in their peace walks.  We have beautiful examples of where our intentions and actions should reside.
