I guess I'm feeling characteristically gushy, but I wasn't really paying MLK day much mind until I came across this
tweet by Vienna Teng that really moved me: "Thank you MLK and all who worked alongside him, before him, and in the same spirit. I was born into the world that you spent your life building."
Coincidently, her song "Soon Love Soon" came up on my shuffle not too long after, which made me even more gushingly moved:
There'll be an evolution of the human soul
We will know that to be a part is to be truly whole
We will know the pattern of centuries' rise and fall
We will know that the fate of one is the fate of all
And we will be as one god
And we will be as one people
What can I say? I'm a sucker, a sap, and an idealist.
Thanks MLK.
