Bliss is this.

It’s time for a “Genuine Revolution of Values” 

“True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.”—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., April 4, 1967

“Let us develop a kind of dangerous unselfishness.”—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., April 3, 1968 

Thank you Democracy Now for broadcasting these truly inspiring speeches, straight from the King himself. 

I was 4 months old when Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4, 1967. I’m sure that the culmination of events leading to his last speech and the conversations that went on afterward are the basis of the ideals and values that I try to live up to today. 

I’ve never really realized this until just this moment. I’ve never listened to his speeches at any length until now. 

He really is/was the Ultimate Yogi, as my yogi friend Clara Chare said on Facebook today. A wise wise man who used his 39 years of life fully and completely.

If you do nothing else today, take 5 minutes to sit in silence and reflect on what you can do to change our world from a “thing-oriented society to a people-oriented society”. 

Take care.
