I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream.

I had a very busy weekend and no time to be online. I don't think I'll be able to catch up with what I missed, but I will visit your latests posts today :)
I dont think I need to explain who Martin Luther King was. If you are interested in his life and work, you can look him up. There is plenty of information about him and on what he dedicated his life. Today, we celebrate his birth as he was born on January 15th 1929 in Atlanta. And I should probably share a picture of the house where he was born (since we celebrate his birth), however the photo I took was pretty crappy so here I am posting a picture from the Martin Luther King Jr Natinal Historic Park where his tomb is. Have a great weekend everyone!

Sliders Sunday - HSS! A very belated contribution, apologies. Some layering, partial desaturation, DRI, anisotropic smoothing (X 2) and a few minor tweaks ..! Sorry, the helico-peter was grounded by bad weather ..!
Non c'e' niente da fare, riusciamo a sporcare sempre tutto, è piu' forte di noi!
Qualcuno riesce a spiegarmi perchè il nostra Amato Premier deve sempre farci fare la figura degli Imbecilli?
Che ci guadagna?
No perchè a me arrivati a questo punto punto il dubbio viene!
Più ci ridicolizza, più ci guadagna!
Voleva fare una battuta?
Definire il nuovo Presidente degli Stati Uniti d'America "ABBRONZATO" è per lui una semplice carineria? Una battuta di poco conto?
E allora se ne andasse al Bagaglino con il suo amico Fascista Pingitore a fare carinerie e battutine!
Ma per favore la smetta di metterci in ridicolo col mondo intero!
Getta acqua sporca su tutto e tutti e poi come se non bastasse ci tratta da imbecilli e da "Coglioni"!
Bene, SONO orgoglioso di esserlo un Coglione se devo differenziarmi dal Nano-pensiero, e proprongo un tutore al nostro premier, una persona che ogni volta che Silviuccio vuole esternare qualcosa lo stoppi preventivamente, una sorta di accompagno!
Dopotutto, dopo quello che ha detto in quel di Mosca si vede a occhio nuydo che è incapace di intendere e di volere!
NON è IL MIO PRESIDENTE!
HOLA ZOMBEROS!
GOD SAVE US!
I Have A Dream
Can't wait for Spring to arrive. With the help of the Deep Dream Generator I created this image.
una mezzaluna di luce che galleggia nel buio. Ogni tanto mi sembra incredibile che l'uomo sia riuscito ad andarci
Eppure é accaduto
I sogni più difficili sono i più belli da realizzare
buon sabato

Driving through Glencoe today on our way home I stopped and took a few photos of the beautiful landscape. Whilst taking this photo I stood and wondered!!
I was wondering if I could climb some of the Munros that we have in Scotland. A Munro is a mountain over 3,000 ft (914.4m) and there are a total of 282. Now, I don't believe I could climb/walk them all but I do believe I could climb walk a few of them!
I do have a friend who has managed to climb/walk almost 70 Munros .... I have a dream!!
Our Daily Challenge ~ I Have A Dream ...
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!

Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are visiting the Way of the Toaster group.
Also today, I'm wearing my MLK T-shirt because on this day in 1963 police in Birmingham, Alabama, used fire hoses, dogs & cattle prods on peaceful demonstrators, and Martin Luther King Jnr was arrested and jailed in Birmingham. King was met with unusually harsh conditions in the Birmingham jail. An ally smuggled in a newspaper from 12 April, which contained "A Call for Unity", a statement by eight white Alabama clergymen opposing King and his methods. The letter provoked King, and he began to write a response to the newspaper itself. King writes in Why We Can't Wait: "Begun on the margins of the newspaper in which the statement appeared while I was in jail, the letter was continued on scraps of writing paper supplied by a friendly Black trusty, and concluded on a pad my attorneys were eventually permitted to leave me." This became his Letter from Birmingham Jail.
We need to all fight for our children to grow up in a world where racism is not prevalent, where lives are not limited and where people are truly judged on their character and not the color of their skin. It boggles my mind sometimes how far from Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream we still are. We have a congress that wants to take away health care, some of these same congressman are saying they honor Martin Luther King Jr. today even though King said, “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.” — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
And we have a president who says the most racist things that one can possibly imagine any political leader ever saying. Where does that leave us in the world today? That leaves us, no matter what our race is, to not be silent and to be vocal in the streets. We must stand up for this next generation of beautiful children to have access to a quality public education, to quality health care, to highly skilled jobs, to in all accounts the pursuit of happiness, to an environment that has stabilized and to liberty.
Sometimes, it is really difficult for me, even though I am white, to not despair myself. I feel like our nation has taken steps backwards not forwards with Trump and all the beautiful children I help, regardless of race, I want them to have a life that entails all of these things. But, I also truly believe that if King were alive today, he would encourage people to not give up the fight. We have to remember, as Americans, our country is only worthwhile if we fight for the best it can be and can offer all of our immigrants and citizens both.
Dr. King also said, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." We should all make an effort to be kinder, to listen to each other, to be compassionate and to reveal insight and light as a counter to arguments that support discrimination. We are at a time when we all have to fight for human rights. Protests were even less popular during Martin Luther King's time period and he gave his life fighting for justice. Let us be inspired by his bravery not just today but in all days going forwards.
“The endurance of the inequalities of life by the poor is the marvel of human society.”

" A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed;
a dream of a land w here men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few;
a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character;
a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity;
the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality."
= Martin Luther King Jr =
All I wanted was to make you laugh or smile but it is becoming painfully clear that my dream will never come true. So today I have chosen the easy way out, to spare the rest of you from the fear and nightmares that I obviously cause......sleep well knowing that this clown is not in pain anymore.
“Suicide is man's way of telling God, "You can't fire me - I quit." E
... that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low. The rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
We sure could use him about now.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, January 18th, 2009 --- On the eve of the Martin Luther King, Jr. national holiday DeWayne Alonso, homeless in San Franciso's Union Square, hands out materials to passers-by. With heavily bloodshot eyes and four front teeth missing he proudly speaks of his attendance at the local college and shows me his student identity card in case there's any doubt. He's very cheerful and talks fondly of Martin Luther King Jr., optimistic that Barack Obama will be an exceptional president.
One day DeWayne hopes to attend UC Berkeley and obtain his degree.

DHS or the Department of Homeland Security has admitted that they've separated 2,000+ children from their parents at the American border in just a couple of months time. Meanwhile, Jeff Sessions tries to justify this based on what has been written in Old Testament Law for The Bible. Here's what you can do, even if you are not in a major city to protest:

Here's a direct link to call your congress rep:

Tell her/him to support HELP:
Humane Enforcement and Legal Protections (HELP) for Separated Children Act. Make sure you mention you are a voting constituent and that if they don't take a stand on this issue, you will take our vote elsewhere. Our very humanity depends on this.

August 28, 1963. Washington, D.C.
"I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. ... "
The speech that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave on that day in August.
" Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time:
the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence.
Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."
Martin Luther King, Jr., Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Stockholm, Sweden, December 11, 1964.
"We must work unceasingly to uplift this nation that we love to a higher destiny, to a higher plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humanness"
A Dream in progress.

Martin Luther King Jr. (Atlanta, Georgia, 15 January 1929 – Memphis, Tennessee, 4 April 1968) was a Baptist minister, intellectual, and one of the most influential leaders in modern history. He became the moral and strategic heart of the American Civil Rights Movement, transforming the fight against racism and segregation into a universal struggle for human dignity. He was not simply a “speaker”: he was an organizer, a strategist of nonviolent resistance, and a global symbol of justice.
King was born into a deeply rooted Black Christian community. His birth name was Michael King Jr., later changed to Martin Luther King Jr. He studied at Morehouse College, then at Crozer Theological Seminary, and earned a PhD in Systematic Theology from Boston University. His education and faith shaped a rare combination: spiritual authority, intellectual depth, and political clarity.
He married Coretta Scott King, who would become a powerful activist in her own right and carry his legacy forward. Together they had four children: Yolanda, Martin Luther King III, Dexter Scott, and Bernice. King’s family life was inseparable from his mission: his wife and children lived under constant threat, surveillance, and hatred, because his struggle disturbed the foundations of a racist system.
King rose to national prominence during the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–1956), triggered by Rosa Parks’ arrest. The boycott was not only a protest: it was a disciplined political campaign that proved collective dignity could defeat legalized humiliation. King’s leadership helped turn nonviolent resistance into a mass force—organized, strategic, and morally unbreakable.
In 1957 he became the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), helping coordinate civil rights campaigns across the South. He led and supported major actions in Birmingham, Selma, and other cities, facing arrests, beatings, threats, and violent repression. He was jailed multiple times; his “Letter from Birmingham Jail” became a landmark of modern political ethics, defending civil disobedience against unjust laws and condemning the dangerous comfort of neutrality.
On 28 August 1963, during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, King delivered the speech that became one of the most famous in human history: “I Have a Dream.” It was not a poetic moment alone—it was a political declaration that made equality a global moral demand. In the following years, the Civil Rights Movement achieved historic legal victories, including the Civil Rights Act (1964) and the Voting Rights Act (1965), milestones that changed the United States forever.
In 1964 King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for leading nonviolent resistance to racial injustice. The prize recognized not only his words, but the discipline and courage of a movement that faced hatred with moral strength and political strategy.
In his final years, King expanded his struggle beyond segregation. He spoke openly against poverty, economic exploitation, and the Vietnam War—positions that made him even more threatening to power. He launched what would become the Poor People’s Campaign, insisting that civil rights without economic justice were incomplete.
In 1968 King traveled to Memphis to support the strike of Black sanitation workers—men demanding dignity, fair treatment, and the right to live as human beings. On 4 April 1968, King was standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel when he was shot and killed. He died at the age of 39. James Earl Ray was convicted of the assassination. King’s death sparked grief, rage, and uprisings across the United States, because his murder was widely felt as the execution of hope itself.
Martin Luther King Jr. was killed because he was effective. He exposed injustice with clarity, and he organized people to defeat it without becoming what they fought against. He proved that nonviolence is not weakness: it is discipline, courage, and political power. His life remains a permanent accusation against racism, indifference, and every system built on humiliation.

Always worth listening to if you have a few minutes!
My parents took us kids on a trip during the sixties and my young mind had never seen or felt discrimination before coming from a rural background in the Midwest but as we stopped along the way in the old South I saw that life wasn't the same for all of us Americans and I was always drawn to what this dynamic preacher was talking about. Thanks Dr. King for waking us up and help pave the path to more equality in this country. I am proud to say I live in the South today! ~
Sunrise on a cold January day near where I live.
En el National Mall de Washington, no muy lejos del Lincoln Memorial, se inauguró hace unos años un controvertido monumento dedicado a la memoria de líder afroamericano que luchó por los derechos civiles en los años 60: el Memorial de Martin Luther King. Visita imprescindible en todo viaje a la capital de Estados unidos.
El lugar exacto para levantar este monumento no fue escogido al azar: allí fue donde King pronunció su famoso discurso que empezaba con las palabras I have a dream (tengo un sueño) el 28 de agosto de 1963. Fue el colofón a la gran marcha por los derechos civiles sobre Washington y un emotivo llamamiento a la fraternidad.
