love is the key we must turn; truth is the flame we must burn; freedom the lesson we must learn

It's a day late, but there should be a remembrance:



THE ULTIMATE SILENCE
October 12, 1998



Listen to the mustn'ts, child.
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts,
The impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves,
Then listen close to me ...
Anything can happen, child.
Anything can be.

~ Shel Silverstein

Seven years ago today, Matthew Shepard was murdered for being homosexual.

What will you do to end the silence?

Jesus. He was croosa's age. Just thinking about that makes me wonder how Matt's parents have been able to cope. And they've not only coped, they've made a difference.

I said, "you can lie to me, I own what's inside of me, and nothing surprises me anymore".

Spammity Spam...but I love this, because oh, yes. 'Tis sovery true. This is my card. I actually get all wibbly when I read this. I'll have to remember it when people look at me all funky-like. Which is kind of often. :/



You are the Fool card. The Fool fearlessly begins
the journey into the unknown. To do this, he
does not regard the world he knows as firm and
fixed. He has a seemingly reckless disregard
for obstacles. In the Ryder-Waite deck, he is
seen stepping off a cliff with his gaze on the
sky, and a rainbow is there to catch him. In
order to explore and expand, one must disregard
convention and conformity. Those in the throes
of convention look at the unconventional,
non-conformist personality and think What a
fool. They lack the point of view to understand
The Fool's actions. But The Fool has roots in
tradition as one who is closest to the spirit
world. In many tribal cultures, those born with
strange and unusual character traits were held
in awe. Shamans were people who could see
visions and go on journeys that we now label
hallucinations and schizophrenia. Those with
physical differences had experience and
knowledge that the average person could not
understand. The Fool is God. The number of the
card is zero, which when drawn is a perfect
circle. This circle represents both emptiness
and infinity. The Fool is not shackled by
mountains and valleys or by his physical body.
He does not accept the appearance of cliff and
air as being distinct or real. Image from: Mary
