Had an opportunity to meet her daughter Yolanda up close at a gala event with the Arts Council of Louisville the year before Yolanda died, as well as watching her work with children at a Louisville urban magnet school named after her father. Death is, to us still living such a sad state of circumstances; yet on both sides of the river of Life they represent a wonderful example of togetherness, kindness and creativity.

Powerful tribute! These lines are exceptional:
"humility of the moon,

In them, you pull in the femine and masculine, the balance,

| Amazing, init, what becomes a beacon in the eye of the storm... and, yes... just have to agree, it tends to be those imbued with a grace and a quiet strength rather than those who shout the loudest or the longest. "humility of the moon, but Glory of God"... don't that just say it all?! What IS it about grace that pulls like a magnet and yet draws attention not to itself but to the power on which it draws? Meekness is controlled strength and certainly NOT weakness. Just love this. Superb in its economy of words. Bless you and thank you for everything. Kate xx |

The world is in great need of more people like you, Nordette because the storm has not yet passed. This is a tribute that honours the life of someone who is a great example for us all.

She really was an example for strength and determination. It seems like such an end of an era with her and Rosa Parks gone. Just by their presence alone they got things done. Would that we all had their courage of conviction. They gave of self and asked little in returen except to be heard.
It would be a better world if our politicians acted with the same code of honor.
Well said.
Best,

Ah, Nordette, I feel such pride because of your words. Pride in progressiveness and fulfillment, in togetherness, in honor and in the life of a rare woman, and a unique man, of exceptional character, qualities and understanding. Rare, indeed, is such a pairing, paring the world with freedom's call.
Your 'reined-in' personality alone in the soft silence of your reverence in this piece shows me just the beginning of the wondrous homage you pay Ms./Mrs. Coretta Scott King, the rest in in your heart and soul.
Yours,
