More John Lewis
So many memories are popping up of John Lewis. I would like to share them as well as to keep them here as a "feel good" place to go during these next few months
Debuting on July 19, 2020 and produced the the Lincoln Project, this makes me cry once again. But also feel hopeful:
You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone—any person or any force—dampen, dim or diminish your light. Study the path of others to make your way easier and more abundant. Lean toward the whispers of your own heart, discover the universal truth, and follow its dictates. […] Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won. Choose confrontation wisely, but when it is your time don't be afraid to stand up, speak up, and speak out against injustice. And if you follow your truth down the road to peace and the affirmation of love, if you shine like a beacon for all to see, then the poetry of all the great dreamers and philosophers is yours to manifest in a nation, a world community, and a Beloved Community that is finally at peace with itself. —Rep. John Lewis
John Lewis crowd surfs on the Colbert Show
After Obama’s swearing-in ceremony, John Lewis approached him with a photograph and asked for his autograph.
Obama wrote “Because of you, John. Barack Obama.”
"Good Trouble"

RIP John Lewis
John Lewis - an American hero - passed away on July 17, 2020 due to complications from pancreatic cancer. He was 80 years old. He experienced so much during his time on earth. Here's a link to his obituary which I think does him justice:

His passing feels like we've all lost a kind, smart, caring uncle or grandfather. It's a blow to Americans who've loved and respected him throughout his public life. If find this 19 second video comforting

And I can envision him in Heaven right now, doing this happy dance.
Mr. Lewis is finally at rest after a long life of service to America. Thank you, John Lewis. And Rest in Peace.
