With Love:

"I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American 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 are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today ... This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the south with.

With this faith we will be able hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the dangling discord of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood ... This will be the day when ALL of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring ... And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when ALL of God's children, black men, and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old negro spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we are free at last!"

Excerpted from Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech.

Sometimes, "the fewer the words, the greater the opportunity there is to hear the truth represented."

So, I'll close with this:

For all of the truly wonderful people that I have the pleasure and privilege of knowing by way of sharing time, air, space, and conversation with, I have more than an abundance of hope that we can and that we will all contribute to one day achieving, completely, the heart and soul of Martin Luther King's "high-hanging dream."

I love you, love me back🤗 and we can "count ourselves two" on the road to achieving love, hope, peace, and a dream.

"I think we can, I think we can ... ."

I wish you, me, us, and them, love, blessings, and a very happy Martin Luther King Day!

Your friend, Joyce's boy, aka "Fast Binky"🤣
