yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
i thought i'd post some of his most memorable quotes in honour of this day~ and the legacy of a courageous and inspiring man...
"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward."
"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
"Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase."
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge."
"Only in darkness can you see the stars."
"Forgiveness is not an occasional act. It is a permanent attitude."
i wish i could formulate my thoughts on issues of race as it relates to my black boys, their future, and our family...apparently today i can't. i type, i delete. type, delete.
quite simply, i'm sooo thankful for the historical representation of this man, this agent of change, who boldly stood for justice and liberty in a non-violent way...i'll finish with one last and powerful quote,
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter"
