Don't know what to say... Words fail me at this kind of stuff.
I hope that you can find something to grasp on to. Something that you might give to your friend. Something that you might incorporate into your life as a result.
As I write, I am listening to a brilliant speech by Hillary Clinton. Commemorating Dr. King's life. Hillary is not my favorite of the candidates. But this speech is revealing a part of her that I haven't seen. It is obvious that she has incorporated the man (Dr. King) into her very substance.
Perhaps that is all we can do.
