Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2013

“Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. King would have been 84 this year. During his 39 years on earth he led a nonviolent movement that worked toward justice for all people. Today I am grateful for his courage and leadership and for all people who work for peace and justice everywhere – in the world, in our neighborhoods and in our homes. Thank you…

If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.

If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.

If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.

If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.

If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.
Laozi

May we continue to move toward peace in our world, nations, cities, neighborhoods, homes and hearts.
