THOUGHTFUL THURSDAYS: HOWARD THURMAN ON THE NECESSITY OF REST

 
Picture
TL Cross, one of my friends from LaGuardia High School, is one of the best conversationalists I have ever met. Once in conversation, he casually mentioned Howard Thurman. He explained that his father was blessed to have Thurman as a Professor and that he had even come over to have dinner with their family. I was so intrigued by some of the topics discussed over dinner that I knew I needed to research Thurman further. What an incredible human being he was! Not only was he one of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s mentors, but he was a powerful scholar, clergyman, author and community leader. Perhaps best known for his epic tome "Jesus and the disinherited", Thurman was committed to a Christianity that would "live for the weak as well as the strong -- for all peoples whatever their color, whatever their caste." I am so moved by many of his sentiments and reflections. In this time where many of us are contemplating how much COVID has slowed the entire world down, his meditation on slowing down feels especially relevant. Read more to see the rest.
