I have a dream...

50 years ago Martin Luther King made his important I have a dream speech.  We need to keep that dream alive for him by enacting it.  It is about freedom and freedom for all.

When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

When we rise each day, we start to enact our own dream which can be as small or as large as we choose, it can be as small as our individual life or it can be as large as the whole of humanity.  The biggest world is God's world and that includes every single being and all that lies between.  Our formal meditation practice is to realise there is a space for God and our daily life should be to make His dream work.  Every day whatever  and whoever we meet gives us another chance to make this real.
