In Honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day

This poem by Hagen Hasselbalch captures the spirit of Dr. King Day, adding  care for creation concerns.  Here are highlights of the poem.

Let there be peace, welfare and righteousness in every part of the world. Let confidence prevail ------for the good of all humanity. Let the people inspire their leaders, helping them to seek peace by peaceful means, helping and urging them to build a better world. ------Let those who have power deal respectfully with the resources of the planet. Let them respect and  maintain the purity of the air, water, land and subsoil.  Let them cooperate to restore the ecological soundness of Mother Earth. ------Let technology respect the holiness of Mother Earth. ------Let ordinary people meet by the millions across the borders.  Let them create a universal network of love and friendship. ------Let us survive in peace and harmony with Mother Earth.

Earth Steward Action: Be part of this network of love.
