The spirit of Martin lives on both sides of the Atlantic

Martin and Martin

When I was little kid growing up in America (the USA) I learned a lot about Martin Luther King Jr. Imagine my surprise when I saw and heard the name Martin Luther in German spoken with the same reverence.

The American Martin Luther shared his dream with the world in a now famous speech. The German Martin Luther shared his disdain for charlatans within the church of his day by nailing his "thesis" to a church door.

Both Martin Luthers are seen as having liberating people from seemingly indestructible apparatuses bent on exploiting.

As I sit and write this post Monday February 2nd, 2026 looking out of my window in Frankfurt Germany, I can't help but feel a sense of achievement that I'm sure that both Martins would feel.

I am also not blind to what both of them would see as our short comings.

There are enough people on what they would describe as this "God given Earth" who would rather focus on the shortcomings. Many people have been conditioned or rewarded for doing so.

The one thing that sticks out with me when I think of both Martins is that they dared to voice/ write down the grievences that they held with the pwoer holders of their day. Both were driven and guided by the fact that despite what the powers that be may say, God does not deal in currencies created by man and no price can be put on human dignity.

I am moved by both Martins and comforted that despite attempts to rewrite thier stories the crux can not be removed. I'm no civil rights activist nor am I a reformist or evangelical leader.

I am a man that believes that he has been given a mission to facilitate peaceful human to human communication in English.

I will not be deterred from my mission and nor will Hashemo's Haus.

I do not write regularly and I am not a robot. What you are reading was not written with AI. However the image was. The content of the article was written using nothing more than HI (human intelligence) and HI 2.0 (human imagination). I would like to foster that in kids everywhere.

Unlike one Martin I do not have a church on which to nail my thesis and unlike the ohter Martin I do not have a stage to articulate my dream. But I do both. I write and I dream. I write because that is what God has commanded and I dream because I do not sleep.

Join me and Hasheomo's Haus on our mission to facilitate communication globally and seperated by belief systems that are made in the houses of men and often forget that we are children of God.
