I very much believe that "birds of a feather flock together" and that we can tell what kind of person you are by the company you keep. One amazing day, when I was at the Hamilton Unit in Bryant, TX, I got to meet a man that worked and marched with Martin Luther King. He was an amazing man! Although the years shown in his face, his eyes were kind,his smile was warm and his mind was full of images and experiences that we can only dream about. He spoke and tho his voice was not loud or rough, everyone stopped to hear him. Every word that came out of his mouth yielded so much strength, influence and inspiration.
Of course, all I get to see and know of Mr. King are his scribed and recorded speeches, however, that day, I really felt that I got to feel, for a moment, in that prison, what it would have been like to walk a moment with a man of such incredible passion! I am grateful.
Today, I take a moment to honor a man who has left such an incredible legacy and I am hopeful for all the tomorrow's that follow tomorrow!
