This is another one of my favorite Martin Luther King sayings. It is subtle, elegant, to the point, and undeniable.

If you live long enough you surely will discover the truth of these words. Even in cases where you may have good reasons to hate, an unjust treatment, for example, that hatred will ultimately do more harm to you than any sense of emotional satisfaction you may try to get through hatred.

Dr. King embraced these words, and led by example, and for that he paid with his life.

Today we honor, commemorate, and celebrate that life.

Bannerman Island
home of castles and legends
a floating treasure
in the midst of the Hudson

**********************************

Bannerman Island is a legendary island that sits in the middle of the Hudson River up around West Point and Cornwall On The Hudson. It has a castle and a very interesting history! I hope to write more about it in the days to come.

a small sign from a few year’s ago
placed at a rural intersection
it still rings true

************************************

I first posted this sign about a year and a half ago in April 2021. The sign is gone (I don’t know why they removed it) but the message still rings true.
