One of my dearest friends told me about a dream she had. She experienced the horror of the war in a way that the conscious mind cannot. It doesn't matter if it was as a person of one ethnic group or another. People are dying. Hate is expanding. Fear and doubt go hand-in-hand with suffering.

When we are in doubt, and find ourselves depressed about the future, we need to do things to take care of ourselves. I like to listen to Martin's speeches, or read his books. It makes me feel better to commune with King.

Sometimes, I like to hear him read part of James Russell Lowell, the "noble bard" he so often paraphrased:

Truth forever on the scaffold
And lies forever on the throne
Yet that scaffold sways the future
And behind the dim unknown
Stands God within the shadow
Keeping watch upon his own.

Martin told the Truth. He went to that mountaintop. Trust his vision.
