"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant." --Martin Luther King, Jr.
Serotiny: The Story of Lead to Life
Serotiny refers to the process of seeds using the destructive power of fire to trigger the germination of new growth. On the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, the organization Lead to Life gathered in Atlanta to honor the life of gun victims by putting weapons of killing through fire to forge shovels; plant trees to honor those lives with shovels created from that process; and share the journey with others in public ceremony. Share in the ceremony of this magical process.
BE THE CHANGE
Reflect on a place of darkness in your heart. Write your sorrow on a slip of paper. Burn the slip. Tuck the ashes next to the roots of a plant and water them in. Honor the transformation.
