Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today is an official holiday in the US. Today we honor a man and his dream--a mission to bring fairness and equality for all through Peace. He may not have been a perfect human being but he had something grand and sadly he was taken from the planet by those filled with the fear of it. We see that fear daily now, but I know the dream still exists.

Thinking about today's world makes me think MLK would be saddened by how far from that dream we have come. In the end I know he would still be there fighting for it with many of us behind him. Each one of us has a place holder on this planet. We may not change the world, but then again who knows. Perhaps each step we all take can create the necessary paths to finding lasting Peace for all of us on this planet that we share.

Here's hoping 2007 brings us steps in the right direction.

Now back to your regularly scheduled update.
