Zur Deti-Bucht (auf der unbewohnten Insel Kato-Koufonissi) benötigt man vielleicht eine halbe Stunde, zu Fuss! Denn Strassen und Autos gibt es hier keine. Wir zogen es jedoch vor, die Insel und deren Buchten noch weiter zu erkunden und die Ausdauer lohnte sich.
Forty years ago, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. traveled to Memphis, Tennessee, to lead a campaign for sanitation workers protesting their low wages and poor working conditions. Still a young man at 39 years old, he had become the nation's chief civil rights leader, known for his non-violent marches and demonstrations. It was the city where he would die.
Civil rights activist and history professor Michael Honey, author of a book about Reverend King's last days in Memphis, says the leader was trying to form a unprecedented coalition linking labor and civil rights.
"He called for a general strike in the city of Memphis by workers, domestic workers, teachers, students,” Honey said. “And this would have been a tremendous high point in the civil rights movement. Nothing like this had happened in any city. It would also be a tremendous high point in the labor movement."
The night before Reverend King was killed, he delivered his final sermon in which he seemed to foresee his fate. "Like anybody I would like to live a long life," King said. "Longevity has its place. But I am not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And he has allowed me to go up to the mountain, and I have looked over, and I have seen the Promised Land."
On 4 April 1968, as King was standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel, he was shot in the neck. He died a short time later at the hospital.
Riots broke out that night in several major U.S. cities. On 9 April, more than 50,000 people attended King's funeral in Atlanta, Georgia.
Memphis police later identified suspect. James Earl Ray was arrested weeks later in London, with a fake passport. Although Ray pled guilty and was convicted, years later he retracted his confession. He said he had been only a minor player in a conspiracy. But a lengthy U.S. Justice Department investigation concluded Ray had acted alone.
King's family rejected those findings. Historian Michael Honey says 40 years later questions linger, especially in Memphis. "I think the issue for the black community was that this was never satisfactorily resolved and that there is widespread belief that it wasn't this one guy, and that other people in the state agencies may have been involved -- or even the local police," he said.
The race riots that spread to more than 100 American cities lasted days, as mostly African-American neighborhoods burned. Across the country, curfews were put in place. The government mobilized some 50,000 soldiers to help quell the violence. Some 21,000 people were arrested.
Nearly 50 people died. About 2,600 were injured, and millions of dollars in property was damaged or destroyed.
Some of the worst rioting was in the nation's capital. A former Washington, DC, city leader, Sterling Tucker, remembers the violence and destruction. And he worries history could repeat itself unless the government does more to help blacks economically and improve race relations.
"The government cannot be naive to these issues,” Tucker said. “The government cannot turn its head. It has got to become a part of this or again, we will have the same kind of people in the streets and the same kind of ways that had to be before. Only this time I think it will be much worse."
Other civil rights leaders say 40 years after King's death, many African Americans still seek his dream of equality and opportunity, especially in urban communities where King had turned his attention during his final days.

When you cry be sure to dry your eyes
'Cause better days are sure to come
And when you smile be sure to smile wide
Don't let them know that they have won
And when you walk, walk with pride
Don't show the hurt inside
Because the pain will soon be gone
Chorus(And when you dream, dream big
As big as the ocean blue
'Cause when you dream it might come true
When you dream, dream big)
When you laugh be sure to laugh out loud
'Cause it will carry all your cares away
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself
And it'll help you feel okay
And when you pray, pray for strength
To help you carry on
When the troubles come your way
(Chorus)
When you laugh be sure to laugh out loud
'Cause it will carry all your cares away
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself
And it'll help you feel okay
And when you pray, pray for strength
To help you carry on
When the troubles come your way
(Chorus)

Look back in this set to see the development of this painting that is now stretched, but not quite dry. Some of the white areas now will clear revealing the colors that are under them.
Dreams and sorrows like fallen empires
Cast about within my conscience
At each event a line is crossed
When every horizon is another place
When mountains rise and rivers flow
And forests cover every land
And merge into unending vistas
With great sky’s above
That threatens storms
That brings about alertness
Am I not then within that place
That other land without a face
It is here and now in quiet grace
Awakened with sorrows memory
That I return alone from dreams
Only to see them vanish in quickened time
The memory seeps away the fear
Released from dark with no one near
To see the look within my eyes
That only another soul could see
The light of a new day then draws near
A future that’s part clear
Reveals that Its hear and now
This place of life
This world of my birth
This space that I am within
Not alone as dreams might say
No proof that there is another way
Where only shadows race
Before some ghostly sun.
Poem: by Richard Walker 21 September 2011
Note: Awakened from a vivid dream can sometimes have us for a moment in that strange place between memory and reality, we try to measure what seems to be a real experience with what is real.

One of the pictures I felt compelled to sit in the middle of the stream for. Not the best one, but one of them.
Every girl dreams of the day she would get up a Mrs. Every girl dreams of the day she would get up near the one man she always dreamed of spending the rest of her life with.
Every day, when I open my eyes, I remember this dream, and how lucky I am!
Note: the red mark on my forehead is sindoor, the mark of a hindu married woman.
