WordCandy Wednesday - I cannot stop leaning... May Day 2013
lean in with me
i've got you
i'm stronger than i look
i'm leaning with her
she's got me
she's stronger than she seems
she's leaning with him
he's got her
he's stronger than you know
he's leaning on her
who is leaning on them
and the circle comes back around
until it is
leaning on itself
we are strong
we are united
we are one
we will prevail
leaning over the verge
of
possibility
In honor of Lyme Disease Awareness Month this is for all of the Lyme Warriors, drafted into the battle through the bite of a tick, taking up the banner of refusal: refusal to be a victim - refusal to be marginalized - refusal to leave this situation unchanged. As I write this I am mindful of the hundreds who will March on the White House this Saturday, May Day 2013 - May 25 at Freedom Plaza....and when I say "March" On the White House you must realize that many will march in pain - they will hobble, and limp, drop footed and proud to have made it this far. Many will be in wheelchairs. Many will carry canes or balance their gait on walkers. Some will have Lyme. Some will have lost a loved one to Lyme. Some will love someone who is sick. Some will walk for others too ill to attend. Some will be Health Care Providers, and Doctors, and Advocates. Some won't even know that they have it yet. They March for us all and I am tearful to imagine the sight - the painting they will create with their glorious spirits will no doubt inspire awe in anyone who really looks closely.
Follow me on Twitter @brightersideblg or on Facebook at "The Brighter Side Blog" on Saturday May 25 where I will share and tweet whatever is tweeted and shared from the event.... I will be at home, and we will be there together then, sharing our love and lending our strength in Spirit from afar. We can change the world - we can never stop leaning over the verge of this possibility... so we lean in, and we lean on, and we move forward.
