‘Dreaming Dreams’ with Martin Luther King

“Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole stair case.”

~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, and with the above inspiring quote of the late Dr. King in mind, we take this step of faith praying this blog will bring positive transformation, spiritual growth, and increased mindfulness in the lives of our readers and ourselves. Life is not about the exact dates and times of the events that happen around us, but about the emotions, sentiments, and effects those points in time have on our futures. On January 15th, 1929, Dr. King was born and he brought with him a seed…a seed of hope. A hope for a better future. For better lives for those in the generations to follow him. For diversity to be celebrated and treasured — rather than serve as a force of hatred and division. Before his journey to Taoland, Adam was also given a seed, but this seed was one of knowledge about the nature of humankind before the rule of artificial intelligence. 

Imagine his world as his journey begins — an existence without music, without joy, and even more sadly without familial relationships. As ‘Adam in Taoland’ begins, we find our hero hopeless in an emotionally-barren mental state. Blessed with the seed of knowledge, Adam was left grasping for the life he knew humans once had, but with nowhere to turn he stood on the edge, grappling with a decision that could change the rest of his life or end it. 

When we find ourselves in difficult times like Adam, we must look to the inspiring ones, like MLK, who’ve come before us. Let us cherish their knowledge, their wisdom, their inspirational lives and the teachings they’ve left for posterity. Such figures in history and their words are cherished possessions. Like the seeds of a great dandelion blowing away in the wind — we must grasp at them furtively and implement their practices in our lives. We are humans from all over the world, from all walks of life. No matter our caste or creed, religion, skin color, age, gender, or position in society — these timeless inspirational messages can reach us all from beyond.
