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?
