I so appreciate the way you weave Dr King’s sermon into your storytelling here. His quote: “Well you may go on and live until you are 90, but you're just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90!” reminds me so much of a favorite quote from Ed Abbey, “solidarity without action is the ruin if the soul.” Words that trickle through my mind often and which you’ve blown open here.

Ah I love that Ed Abbey quote, yes! We are guided and held by our elders. May we honor them well.
