Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 95th birthday - short reflection.
On this very frigid MLK, Jr. Day (when he would have been 95), taking a moment to reflect on how far we've come, and how very much farther we have to go. And not just on race matters, but on religious ones, sexual orientation, general tolerance of differences - to see how universal so many of our dreams are, so maybe we can stop fighting and work in concert and all, together, get closer to achieving those dreams.
Looking back to the weekend before this past, when I spied (above) in the skies over Orlando a partial rainbow in an opening in the clouds...
... After having left a grey, rainy, frozen LGA that caused icing, that then required de-icing - cold at the time, but nowhere close to today's temperatures ...
... (in marked contrast to a much warmer Orlando), ...
... the day after going to the Met and catching, among others, a Matisse and Derain exhibit, "Vertigo of Color: Matisse, Derain, and the Origins of Fauvism"...
... - a conversation of the works ...
... of these two friends ...
... and contemporaries.
Such beautiful colors!
