Love Is...

“Love is one of those topics that plenty of people try to write about but not enough try to do.”

—Criss Jami, Killosophy

Love is feelings and emotions. But that’s not all love is. Love is doing and responsibility. Love is accountability. Love is action and love is being, all at the same time.

We Still Have A Distance To Go...John Lewis

We have come a long way in America because of Martin Luther King, Jr. He led a disciplined, nonviolent revolution under the rule of law, a revolution of values, a revolution of ideas. We've come a long way, but we still have a distance to go before all of our citizens embrace the idea of a truly interracial democracy, what I like to call the Beloved Community, a nation at peace with itself.
