Today, January 19, 2026, marks the 40th anniversary of the first nationwide observance and celebration of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day (MLK Day) as a federal holiday.

On this day each year, our social media feeds are flooded with clips and quotes that show a very palatable MLK. I love those quotes as much as the next person. They are inspiring and keep us focused on the main things: hope, faith, love, community, and humanity.

However, some of my favorite clips and quotes (such as the clip included in this post) are those that showed Dr. King’s vulnerability and utter frustration in fighting for something that we never should have needed to fight for in the first place. It showed his weariness, the fact that he never wanted to be a martyr, but he was fighting for a better life for all people, including himself and his family.

Being a person of purpose and a change maker often requires vacillating between multiple realities and truths.

We are hopeful, yet discouraged.
We are determined, yet weary.
We make progress, only to feel like the progress isn’t enough or is met with opposition at every side.

This does not mean that we give up, but it is a reminder to embrace our humanity, to implement rest as a practice, to stay in loving community and to give ourselves grace.

“Poverty is violence. Starving a child is violence. Suppressing a culture is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Discrimination against a working person is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical needs is violence. Contempt for equality is violence. And even the lack of will power to help humanity is a sick and sinister form of violence.” —Coretta Scott King

On this day, let us honor the courage, clarity, and commitment of both Kings.

For the one seeking a sense that things can still move, even here…

May you know that even here in November,
you are free to begin again.

As the days grow longer
and you begin to wonder
how to live inside what has already changed,
may you know that each sunrise is still a sunrise.

The small rhythms you create here still matter.

Even when there are slow starts to the mornings
and days that feel left unfinished,
may you know that inhale after exhale,
you are still part of the day turning.

You are learning to stay near what continues,
however subtle.

You are learning to notice
what shifts with what stays steady.

And as blades of grass still lift under the sun in winter
and rivers still move when the days shorten,
you too are free to move
in ways that reflect the shape of the day.

You are slowly but surely discovering,
perhaps, after everything,
this is what it can mean to begin again:
continuing to breathe deep amid the change,
and remain present, anyway.

When you look around in nature, you will find growth isn’t just about constant improvement or achievement.

As humans, at times, we can frame it that way because many of our frameworks focus on growth as progress or growth as productivity. But when we look at trees, rivers, or fields, we are not just seeing plants and landscapes. We are being reminded, in real time, of how growth happens naturally in cycles.

And in those cycles, yes, there will be storms. Yes, there are things in nature that decay, wither, and return to the earth. There are ways entire landscapes shift and change after loss. The way things grow or stop growing is not separate from grief.

And in those very same cycles within landscapes, there is also the possibility of renewal. Rain pours from the sky, and so does sunlight. Leaves fall on the ground, and yet soil also replenishes in that very space. There are things that seem to take forever as they struggle to grow, and then there are also moments, all throughout the year, where we are surprised by the presence of wildflowers, butterflies, mushrooms, migrating birds, and the list goes on.

I hope you find that kind of growth this September, the kind of growth that appears in ways that don’t feel like constant straining or improving but natural movement unfolding in its own time.

Growth does not come easily, but that does not mean it cannot be freeing. That does not mean it cannot surprise you in beautiful, natural ways as you move through September’s landscape.

May September lead to the kind of beautiful growth that comes so naturally it surprises you and frees you to keep flourishing, despite it all, how you were meant to.
