“For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every third Monday in January, we observe a national holiday to celebrate the life and remarkable achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the United States. Dr. King was a prominent American civil rights leader who played a pivotal role in advocating for racial equality and justice during the civil rights movement.
In many of his speeches, Dr. King emphasizes the importance of looking beyond narrow boundaries of perception and embracing a vision of interconnectedness that goes beyond national or racial divisions.
As today we are reflecting on the influence of Dr. King and the work we still need to do to, I wanted to highlight a quote which illuminates the true value of nature, which is the nature that underlies all of human existence. 🌍 ✊ 🌿
