This past week has been a long hard one for the city of Boston and also for the nation. It has been a time of personal difficulty too as I experienced my mother's funeral. I see so much sadness in the news every day now, and it is easy to become angry and to hold bad feelings. I decided this morning, before doing anything else, I would take a deep breath and think of all the goodness; all the light that shines into my life.
As I turn to healing and forgiving, I hold the words of Martin Luther King, Jr in my mind and in my heart:
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
Feel the love! See the light!
I'm sorry to hear about your mother's passing. You have an incredibly positive attitude, which is much appreciated in this crazy world. Great quote, good advice. thank you.
