What is your eternal message of truth and love and justice?

Finding this old photo of mine in my little wooden ‘treasure box’ I realize it is meant for today's Omer Psalm. Where did I shoot this message?

"I just want to be there in love and in justice and in truth and in commitment to others so that we can make of this old world a new world."

Googled message and I love that Rev. ML King, obm said these words in his:
4 February 1968, “The Drum Major Instinct” speech.

"King's "Drum Major Instinct" sermon, given on 4 February 1968, was an adaptation of the 1952 homily ‘‘Drum-Major Instincts’’ by J. Wallace Hamilton, a well-known, liberal, white Methodist preacher. King encouraged his congregation to seek greatness, but to do so through service and love. King concluded the sermon by imagining his own funeral, downplaying his famous achievements and emphasizing his heart to do right."

 "Let us look calmly and honestly at ourselves, and we will discover that we too have those same basic desires for recognition, for importance. That same desire for attention, that same desire to be first. Of course, the other disciples got mad with James and John, and you could understand why, but we must understand that we have some of the same James and John qualities. And there is deep down within all of us an instinct. It's a kind of drum major instinct—a desire to be out front, a desire to lead the parade, a desire to be first. And it is something that runs the whole gamut of life.

 "Alfred Adler, the great psychoanalyst, contends that this is the dominant impulse. Sigmund Freud used to contend that sex was the dominant impulse, and Adler came with a new argument saying that this quest for recognition, this desire for attention, this desire for distinction is the basic impulse, the basic drive of human life, this drum major instinct."

Amazing for me to learn of this because I am a drum major!

Message found where in world?
