Dreams and reality / MLK Jr

 During this amazingly historic weekend, possibly one of the most historic weekends of this nation, in that we are celebrating both our victories and our losses.   So, that makes it -- bitter/sweet -- , on so many levels.  

For us, the Dream/ or dream, that comes fore most to mind would have to be the dream/ or Dream of Dr. M,L. King , Jr., Some might think , perhaps, that the dream may have faded, or dissipated.   For me, a lot of understanding about his dream arises in my mind connecting back to an extraordinary work - Strength to Love - , which just by the title, in many ways,  you get sucked in - immediately.  So, written sometime in the 1950s during a period in which his home was attacked, and he had a lot of anxiety about his family, and he prayed to God/or Jesus, and asked if he should keep going.  My memory fades about what happened next, but we know from our collective memory , that he did continue.  And so, my thesis would be, that is where this Dream/or dream came from that we all can celebrate, after these 60 years, because I am pretty sure, that he was close, and so we are close to where that dream originated from.  And it was an extraordinarily deep place, a place so deep, it endures, beyond the moments of our history, because it has always been there, for all of us, throughout history.   

So, this is a big day, for each and everyone of us in this country where of course God did spread some of His grace around.  And so, we had some vision of a great light, a light that may be a bit more bright, than we are yet capable of perceiving or understanding.
