It’s [a] fast.
No sugar or dairy for the next 40 (now 38! days).
Let’s see how this goes.
Already wanting just a nibble of chocolate…
Oh boy.
The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.
John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
Listening deeply focuses our attention on the present, creating harmony within us, which draws others near. Listening with our heart is the first rule of love…Without a listening heart, there is no respect, no bonding, no intimacy and no happiness in our relationships. One of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves and to one another is undivided attention, the gift of being fully here.
Susan Taylor, “In the Spirit”

MLK also participated in the war against poverty. These struggles can be fought against and won…but only with the help of knowledge. Ignorance leaves us clueless, defenseless, and senseless. Let’s educate ourself about issues in our communities, our countries, our world. Let’s care about the people that we occupy these places with. Let’s love one another for the sake of goodwill and a better life for each of us individually and the world as a whole.
”Our mission is simple, but has far reaching implications: to improve communication and relationships across poverty, race, gender, and generational barriers.”
