Positive Sparks Monday - An American Great
I decided to stray from my
ongoing music theme. Poking around Brainy Quotes last week, words by the great Frederick
Douglass popped out to me. This great American became my hero the instant a grade school
teacher introduced me to his works. I think the following quote sums up his spirit, and represents
a philosophy we should all embrace without hesitation.
Amen, good sir. May you rest in peace.
To quote Annie of McGuffy’sReader, the bright spirited blog where she created Sparks Mondays, “I
believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to
shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see
each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world!”
