The actual words of MLK are very subversive, for any time. People often think of him as conciliatory because he championed for them not to become “the evil they detested,” not to hate or not to allow it to be the fuel of the revolution,the turn of the wheel towards something different.

I imagine people don’t really read his words for if they did they would know he was calling us to do so much better as a species, and to do so out of love and utter connection. A truly vulnerable and powerful place. I think this is what the fire coaxes from us.
