Living with Awareness to be of Service

Truly a day to remember the importance of our connection & responsibility to each other.As Dr. King powerfully reminds us: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial “outside agitator” idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.” Letter from the Birmingham Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King, April 16, 1963.

 Did you set intentions-sankalpas for the New Year? (sankalpa:resolve, resolution;  san is an idea formed in the heart and kalpa is a way to proceed, a vow to manifest your heart’s desire)  Do some of your intentions include being aware of your connection & responsibility to others? For me, one of the most significant & timeless messages Dr. King provides is to stand up & be of service to others who are less fortunate, have less power & are more vulnerable than I due to the color of their skin.
