The Miracles of Blogging

One of the things that continues to amaze me about blogging is how a post written almost a year ago, can suddenly jump back up and find itself with a whole new audience of readers.

This has happened today with my post http://seventhvoice.wordpress.com/2012/05/23/dog-fox-field-the-history-lesson-behind-australian-poet-les-murrays-powerful-poem-on-disability/

I do not know who has picked up this post and twittered it out into the digital universe  once again for all to share but I am grateful to whom ever did so.

To me;

It is one of the miracles of blogging,

That words,

Penned so long ago,

Can still reach out,

And speak in the present,

To the minds of others.

To whom ever breathed new life into this post,

Thank you.

Love is Love – A New Hook on an Old Book.

“Ask yourself, what kind of person do you wanna be
And how many commandments are gonna rule how you think.

And do we really mean it, when we say he loves us all?
And do we really believe it when they say that we’re created equal?

Of course I do, I’m not a racist or an asshole,

Yet we can treat them less if their love is homosexual?

Well rules are rules and the bible’s pretty clear here.
Yeah we know, we get it, but we don’t live by procedure.

We decide what’s right by what’s right, not what’s written.
We evolve past our outdated norms and dispositions.
We don’t exclude people based on footnotes of exodus.

Like my friend Haley who loves both of her dads
You want to tell her their love is different?
You want to make that distinction?

You want to tell her that this beautiful and limitless thing that we call love.
Has rules and a proper way to do it,

And their love is less love because an old book don’t approve it?

I guess here’s how I see it,
You got a heartbeat like mine.”

Poetry Lyrics from Same Love

“Love isn’t in your eyes baby girl, it’s in your heart”

I see your true colors,

Even when others don’t!

Love isn’t in your eyes baby girl,

It’s in your heart.

My Favorite Tolkien Poem ~♥~

Reblogged from OLIVE TWIST ~♥~:

Click to visit the original post

All that is gold does not glitter

Not all those who wander are lost

The old that is strong does not wither

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken

A light from the shadows shall spring

Renewed shall be the blade that was broken

The crownless shall again be king.

Love this poem <3

You are crafted with beauty and purpose

by

 Tumblr_mimx80wosx1rmw0cso1_500_large

You are loved,

You are valuable,

You are crafted,

With beauty and purpose,

I treasure you and this world,

Needs you,

As you are,

There is no one like you,

You don’t need to look like the rest,

Or talk like the rest,

Or be like the rest,

There is no truth in the lie,

That you don’t matter,

You were put here for a reason,

And you are loved,

You were not an accident,

And you will never be,

A mistake.

She is my daughter,

And she is the face,

Of Autism.

If beauty,
Ever,
Only exists,
Within the eye,
Of the beholder,
Then I see you all,
As being,
Truly,
Strong,
Capable,
