"I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want. - Muhammad Ali

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: You know the emptiness of my heart. Sometimes I wonder if you are there, if you hear, and if there is any hope that my situation will be different. When loneliness looms around me, when my questions are unanswered, when no one seems to care, when days and nights go on and on with no change, when I fall deeper into despair, I pray that you will let your peace fall upon me as gently as the spring rain that waters the earth. Remind me of your unconditional and eternal love for me. Assure me of your presence. Fill my heart with the hope that my life is held in your hand. Lift my pain so that joy may flow freely again through me. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.

Keith, what's the date of this quote? Was this from the "young" Ali or the "old" Ali? This man's perspective on many things changed dramatically as his career progressed. (And as America progressed!) I'd be interested to know when he came to this realization.
That was the young Ali, circa 1965!
Man. I have so much admiration for Muhammad Ali, it's a crying shame that I will never get the opportunity to express face-to-face.
As much as an important figure in the civil rights movement, if you ask me.
