Becoming Martin Luther King Jr.

In the Talmud, that ancient Hebrew book, it says that ‘a dream

that is not understood

is like a letter not opened.’

Today it is time to open that letter we put off reading…

it is the letter of hope

and love in all its forms.

-Evelyn M.Wallace

Fifty years ago I remember hearing and seeing this speech on T.V.

It moves me as much now as it did then.  

When I think of Martin Luther King Jr. I feel love in my heart

which no one can take away.

No one can kill love.

Hatred you can burn to the ground

with a cool glass of water.

- Evelyn M. Wallace
