Blue birds fly...
Did you grow up with that song in your head? Did you watch Wizardly Ozness every year? Did your dreams take you to lands beyond our sight? Mine did...it's where I hid from my mother. How many children do you think survive? How many do we not even know about...are getting beaten tonight? How many women will fall victim to yet another beating, another rape? How many animals will be brutally beaten perhaps to death before midnight? How many innocent lives will be stolen today....just today...by the evil walking amongst us now? Ask yourself that question every day and ask yourself what you can do about it...
Tell someone. Ask someone. Call someone. STOP someone if you must.
You must NOT let your inactions, your silence, your blindness....to allow one more child to die. It sounds horrible but look at the news...read the papers...check every social network and ask your neighbors, your coworkers and your church family -- you will indeed see that our world has changed. No longer can our children just play outside...no longer can they just go to sleepovers...no longer can women run for their health on mornings alone...no longer can we trust our neighbors to always be who they appear. I don't know about you but I fear this wind of change... it's one reason I am here now instead of a fulltime social networkedy babbling advocate... my children, my family, my health, my sanity and my faith have taken precedence... I have given so much to the angels that I have let my earthly health crumble. Now, I am doing my part still emailing, still signing, still asking wtf is happening... I just can't do it on (now called DB...don't ask :p).... it's been a great deal harder than I thought because so many of you don't communicate elsewhere...I miss the friends I made but I also realize I didn't make nearly as many as I thought I had. It's ok... I have found so much more in the silence with my Father :)
My girls have always meant the world to me... my own life is what I would give to save them from any harm. If every single person who bore a child or had part in that process...would have that bred down deep in them like the first rule of existence (which I thought it was)... my advocating would be nil. My worry for the next murdered child would nay exist, would it? Think about it...what if everyone was as totally brutish and loud in their protection of a child? What if every single person knew that every one was listening, watching, asking, acting....what if this world took it upon themselves to save the next generation? It's a pipe dream because no one, at least not every one...gives a damn. Simple. If it doesn't touch them, it does not exist...
So yeah.... take that to the bank... look in the mirror and decide what you will do if you are ever faced with it. Like FACED with it... in the face faced with it. What would YOU do if you heard a child screaming in the house next to you? Screaming screaming screaming crying "help me" someone HELP ME...or just a tiny child screaming incessantly with no end in sight, no let up, sure pain... no guesses...would you call someone? Would you get involved? Would you knock on the door? What...would...you do? Now pray for the knowledge to know what is right and the courage to do what is right... make no mistake...if you do not...there is a good chance no one will and we will be hearing of a brand new grave, a sweet angel making that journey home to Heaven's playground... another grandparent, another daddy, another mom...someone somewhere will mourn a life they could not save. So .... what would you do? Make a pledge...to not only protect your own child but the children you come in contact with, the children who call to you....the future of our species...the children.
Peace to you all xxx
