Happy MLK Day friends! Here’s an article I just published about the friendship between MLK and Thich Nhat Hanh. It’s a good day to remember that how we show up for each other, and how we advocate for change, matters. There is no way to democracy, democracy is the way.
Building ‘beloved community’: Remembering the friendship between Martin Luther King Jr. and Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh
Martin Luther King Jr. and Thich Nhat Hanh shared a vision of ‘beloved community’ that shows how democracy begins not with power, but with how we live together.

He just walked his path.
