in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s last words to the people he served and served with, we find a calling for a better world:
"Like anybody, I'd like to live a long life. But longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now, I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've SEEN the promised land! I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we as a people, will GET to the promised land. And I'm happy tonight, I'm not worried about ANYTHING. I'm not fearing ANY MAN. 'Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.'"
This is where i am now. on the verge of leaping into a sea of living breath, my brothers and sisters in Africa.
i am terrified. i am clueless. i am unaware of the reality i will face.
i am willing, ready, and going.
love and peace or else!
i am going into this Heavy World in order to lift it from the darkness, if i can.
"i'm gonna kick the darkness till it bleeds daylight!"
