three.

I just came back from a meeting with a dear friend of mine. She was so encouraging and it just reminded me of how lucky I am to have people like her in my life.
I remember how I felt when I first started going to school and I did not have any friends who understood what I was doing with this movement, little alone friends who would support what I am trying to do. I do not have many friends, but I am so fortunate to have a few that I know I can count on when so many have turned their backs on me.
I never realized how scary change is for people until I was the one proposing this change in my friends and schoolmates. People are so afraid of what change will mean that they make enemies out of those of us who are suggestng they try love instead of hate, open-mindedness verses negative perceptions.
A time will come my friends when they will ask you to choose just as they have asked me. In the words of Susan B. Anthony, "Abandon all for the cause."
They arent your friends if they want you to put your convictions aside to follow their set in stone ways. Live with love and live for change and I guarantee you will reap the rewards.


Luke 6:20-23 (Christ speaking):
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [be ye] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed [are ye] that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed [are ye] that weep now: for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward [is] great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
