To balance the grimness of last week, here is a Yolanda King quote from her speech at the Martin Luther King Jr Convocation in Santa Cruz a couple of years ago. It suits my mood today! I am choosing to believe things will work out, that life can be fun and wonderful again, that I can control my reality with my thoughts. I am excited.
“I know in my heart the dream will be realized. I choose to believe. And choosing is a powerful thing. It’s available to you at every moment. You can choose understanding over anger, believing over nonbelieving, action over inaction. It gives meaning to every choice we make.”
I like this one much better! It’s true for so many things. A happy Laura makes me happy too. =)
Thanks Woo. Me too. Though I still love that Wendell Berry poem. And the downs in life provide contrast with the ups. Without contrast, everything is just gray.
I’m with Wes! I am glad that last one is gone.
I hope everything isn’t just gray with no downs.
I like to think that life is better than that.
I am glad that you are feeling better! love ya
