TODAY


 Many words will be spoken today.  Reported by media worldwide.
Parsed, interpreted, debated, analyzed.  Recorded for history.

But let us remember and hold fast to these words,
spoken by Dr. King, during his acceptance speech, when awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize, Oslo Norway, 1964.

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love 
will have the final world in reality.
This is why right, temporarily defeated,
is stronger than evil triumphant."

  4. The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, D. C. is an amazing place.
    The quotations carved into stone are poignant, and the feel of the place is somber.

  16. Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. sure did speak the truth. It's truth that is as important today as when he spoke them.

  19. Mom's comment about today was from George Orwell - "In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act." We won't get into anything else! Love you loads and if you feel the need, refugees are welcome at Cas De Marv.
