I was reminded of this Martin Luther King quote** this morning, and I’m sharing it with the hope that it remains true.

When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.

I’m an impatient person, and I was sick this morning listening to the NPR reports on this and this compounded by the general tone of politics and rhetoric these days. I am sick of compromise being a dirty word and justice being denied.

What are you doing to ensure the arc of the moral universe is bending toward justice?

Update: I feel somewhat better after this. I get that it doesn’t change much, but it’s still a step in the right direction.

**My all-time favorite class was 11th-grade English, during which one of our units of study was rhetoric. It left a huge impression on me, and for that I am thankful.
