The next Bloganuary prompt I am tackling is: “What is the most memorable gift you have received?”

I am sorry. This one had me stumped. I could not think of any gift all wrapped up in paper with a bow on top that has been so memorable. I have received some really lovely gifts with great pleasure, but nothing stands out.

But it’s quite simple. The greatest gift I ever had was not a material one, but a spiritual one.

How Could an Old Column Be So Rousingly Pertinent? — NANMYKEL.COM

I’ve been impressed recently by what I’ve learned about the Boston Review. I just read an excellent article about MLK and thought it right-on, today.

Filosofa's Word
