the power of visibility

Oct 14, 2007 16:56

I've waffled about posting this, about when to post it, but vaznetti was nice enough to look it over for me, so up it goes. I won't be online much over the next 24 hours (first day on a new job means I'll be lucky to check my e-mail, I'm guessing), but any questions, comments, discussion among yourselves...go for it. Just, play nice, folks ( Read more... )

Eli, this is a marvelous post! Brava! I wish I had something intelligent to contribute and although I debated the 'Wiccan working in Catholic hospital' aspect, I decided not to go there. There shouldn't be distraction or tangential commenting here. It would detract from your argument.

So I will just say that what you're saying is worthy of attention and, whenever you need it, I got your back.

Thank you. Seriously, just saying what you have is a wonderful thing. I know that this isn't going to get "solved" (like it's that easy!), but getting people thinking isn't a bad thing, you know?

I love you so, so much, dearest.

*massive hugs*

So much the same, hon. I still don't know that I said everything I meant to, or said it right, but saying something felt necessary.

Thank you for sharing this post. :::massive hugs:::

I wish I could articulate my thoughts...working on that. *more hugs*

elishavah October 16 2007, 00:46:34 UTC

Yeah, it's not easy. But keep working if you need to.

::collapses into your hugs::

Will do. I think it's probably something I'm better at verbalizing rather than writing down.

*more hugs*

And you know there's a grey furry alien with big ears also available for hugs.

This is beautiful.

Thank you so much for speaking up, speaking eloquently, and putting yourself out there.

At your back,

Kita

Thank you. And THANK YOU for being one of the people who has been speaking up regularly. Like I told chopchica after the last go-round, it's that sense of "I knew I wasn't alone, that it wasn't just me, but others are really trying" that's gotten me saying anything at any point in all of this.

Thank you for reading and commenting. I haven't been able to respond, but it's been good to know that it's helped at least some.
