Hello Beautifuls, today Lake Tahoe Mindfulness Community met for an evening sunset walk and practiced walking with our spiritual ancestor, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I hope your day was as insightful as ours. Here's a tribute poem that was read before we practiced, enjoy:

“Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow,
I still have a dream.
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up
and live out the true meaning of its creed,
‘We hold these truths to be self-evident
that all men and women are created equal….’” *
I have a
dream today,
come walk with me and embody:
persistence, bravery, equality, leadership,
tender justice, forgiveness and mercy.
come walk with me and embody:
persistence, bravery, equality, leadership,
tender justice, forgiveness and mercy.
Let us
walk as a free people
and allow our freedom to 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 the day when all God’s children--
black, white, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics—
will be able to join hands and sing…
‘Free at last!
Free at last!
Thank God Almighty,
we are free at last!’” *
