Brian’s Reflection: Monday, January 21, 2008
Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday


A nation that continues year after year to spend more money
on military defense than on programs of social uplift is
approaching spiritual doom.

I think we’ve arrived. What do you think?

Almost always, the creative dedicated
minority has made the world better.

And it cost a lot, often their lives.

At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.

I/we need to remember this.

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor;
it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Alas; true. Think how this dehumanizes the oppressor.

Human salvation lies in the hands of
the creatively maladjusted.

“Fools for Christ” ??

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted,
every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places
will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed
and all flesh shall see it together.

May we all be dreamers.

- Quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.
