When Thich Nhat Hanh and Martin Luther King Jr. first met, something more than dialogue passed between them. It was as if two rivers, long separated, found their confluence. In the shared waters of compassion, they recognized that the cries of suffering in Vietnam and the cries of suffering in America were inseparably one. Their words spoke of peace, but their presence embodied a deeper truth—that the Beloved Community is not a dream deferred but a reality born whenever hearts choose to join together in love and justice. We have been given the gift of life in this perplexing world to become who we ultimately are: creatures of boundless love, caring, compassion, and wisdom. What emerged that day was not strategy, but communion, a shared witness to humanity’s deeper belonging.

May you be strengthened by the knowing that love makes us one.
