Loving Monday: A Pause to Remember
I find it intriguing that our means to extend honor is to pause from work.
Today, we celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Worthy of honor and remembrance he certainly is. He rose to meet the challenges of his time, and we will be forever in his debt.
As a nation, we extend a working holiday to commemorate these most significant of contributions and causes.
We pause from our frenetic busyness and the incessant pursuit of wealth to remember who we are and from where we came. We dare not forget at what great price and by which great principles we enjoy our current well-being, security and opportunities.
When we forget the path down which we came, we will lose the bearings that would guide us forward.
