A Few Wise Words From Dear Martin Luther King Jr.


"Darkness cannot drive out darkness;
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate;
only love can do that."

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."

Walking



I just came back from a very invigorating walk.
The colors are magnificient at this time of
the year in Ontario, Canada.

When I came home I had this urgent desire to listen to
Nana Mouskori's song about September.



Is the fall your favorite season too?
