Coretta Scott King
'Coretta Scott King and daughter Bernice at funeral of Martin Luther King, Jr.'

This picture follows the theme of mortality and makes me think about the impermanence of life, how much can change in just a few seconds, and how strange it is that we view the world as stable as it is. What, in the end, did MLK Jr's life mean? What did he accomplish? What of his family? How did they live when he was life, how did they live when he was dead? And how did they dead? Happily? I hope so. I hope they were smart enough not to stop living while being alive just because the person they must have loved more than anyone else died.
