"We must build dikes of
courage
to hold back the flood of fear."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
This we know: Many of the reports carried in the news and many of the stories that circulate among us carry fear.
Instead of feeding fear, we can "build dikes of courage."
Dikes of love and hope too.
We can speak of the good we see. We can reflect beauty. We can act with reverence for all.
Like Martin Luther King, Jr., let's dream of peace, respect, and harmony among us. Let’s build it too.
With strength and faith,
Charlene

THE THIRD GIFT IS COURAGE.
May you speak and act with
confidence
and use courage to follow our own path.
