New Dimensions of Love
By Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
We have before us the glorious opportunity to inject a new dimension of love into the veins of our civilization. There is still a voice crying out in terms that echo across the generations, saying: Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you, that you may be the children of your Father which is in Heaven. This love might well be the salvation of our civilization.

In these black and white days of snow
I think the cardinal is red
just for days as this,
just because my eyes and soul enjoy it,
red outstanding
in the black and white,
one of the things God and I agree on.
