every year on #MLKday i recommend and earnestly encourage the reading of The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. (edited by Clayborne Carson). to read his words not just as selected quotes or memes, but in full context is profoundly beneficial. this volume holds a sacred spot on my bookshelf and has for many years. please add it to your collection, if you haven’t already, and even more so, please read it. it is a collected works of love and wisdom, of real truth speaking and luminosity.

Dr. King was truly a bodhisattva and prophet. he was also a husband, a father, and a friend. a human being that knew history, the human condition, and listened to the voice that is at times still and quiet, and at times roaring, that calls us to Love in the most real, profound, and sacred meaning of the word.

may we listen, ingest, and be transformed by his words everyday. the long arc is possible only through the open hearts of those who take up the message of love and embody it through true justice, which is the only path to true peace.

may it be so.
