Your intro causes me to reflect on the hero with a thousand (million? billion?) faces -- and those who are invisible, who quietly do what needs to be done and leave the scene before accolades can be doled out. In a commencement address to Oberlin College in 1965 MLK said "All life is interrelated, and somehow we're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be." May we all become what we're supposed to this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
