Yes, things can change. Yes, we can change. Yes, we are the change. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Thank you for sending this out, Honey.
I still remember Harvey's speech.
I not only know things can change,
I know that it is inevitable.
May we all dare to openly celebrate our own sacred queer lives.
May we all dare to dwell in beauty, balance and delight.

Thanks for the shout out about www.8against8.com. Today is day 5 of 8. We made our original goal but are trying to raise as much as we can to help defeat Prop 8.
'Course they can. What we have that my Grandparents didn't: *better working hours *no child labour *women can vote *teachers can get married and teach while pregnant *labour unions *social welfare
While it may not be perfect...it is change and for the better

and I am willing,
for to be hopeless
would seem so strange.
It dishonors those who go before us.
So life me up to the light of change.

So many candles on the altar this year.
I will always have hope. Grace gives me this.
