Today was amazing. I think our silent lunch was the most powerful point of the day for me, especially when people kept filtering in and we had around 60... I was blown away and so optimistic.
I'll actually write something out for you later, when my sister isn't badgering me for computer use. ;)
I totally have to agree. In fact, I just got a shirt today that says it all: "The world is pretty amazing." There might be intolerant people out there but there are also tolerant people out there, and that alone is a cause for optimism.
Nice writing Candace. I particularly liked "there is nothing left for the televangelists to kill" 'cos that can be so true sometimes.
I've written a bit about this day in my own journal, and you're welcome to check that out. I won't say much here, except what I've been saying all along, that its not your fault that you're just born a certain way that's different from everyone else. You shouldn't be persecuted for something you can't control.
Oh, I'll include the first sentence of what I wrote on that piece of paper:
"Some people's minds couldn't be opened even if you gave them a plunger and a can of Drano to do the job."
Glad to hear you like the poem. I saw that you'd posted an entry, though I have yet to read it. And I read what you wrote on that paper -- very modernly poetic. I actually typed up everything that was said on those pages we passed around, and it was so great to see so many people with so many valid reasons for participating. I liked today, because we got the word out without saying anything.
