-- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., from Speech delivered at Riverside Church, April 4, 1967,
As you may know, I meditate -- a lot. The Soundless Sound of Silence is a refuge for me. In fact I will be offering Be Still: An Interfaith Day of Mindfulness, again on Sunday, January 15 here in Western Wisconsin.
Yet, as Dr. Martin Luther King proclaimed in his speech at Riverside Church, exactly one year to the day before his assassination in Memphis, there is a time to break silence. Like Mahatma Gandhi before him, Dr. King practiced the Spirit of Love and Truth through non-violent political action.
With the celebration of Dr. King's birthday -- and the ascension of Donald Trump -- on the horizon, my identical twin, Brother Lefty delivers a rant and shares a recording of Dr. King's eloquent denunciation of the Vietnam War in this week's Rambling On with Brother Lefty Smith, S.O.B.*
Please listen deeply -- and share Dr. Kings message. It is a time to break silence, to speak out -- and join with others to act. Our democracy and this planet depend on it.
