Because Pain is Built to Last
| September 10, 2007 | 8:57 am

My heart is with her today.
Well, my heart is always with her. Has always been. Even during the years we were apart.
She has begun yet another journey of self exploration and healing. Does anyone else know how far she has come? How much work she’s done? Does she even know?
How long does it take to heal an injured soul? How many years… how many lifetimes, even?
I wish she could know (does she? Maybe somewhere buried in her secret heart?) that even her painful journey of apparent self destruction in these past years is part and parcel of the healing of her soul.
Coming to love oneself is the hardest journey of all. I know this. So the song is this one; again- still, always.

push play

It isn’t very difficult to see why
You are the way you are
Doesn’t take a genius to realize
That sometimes life is hard
It’s gonna take time
But you’ll just have to wait
You’re gonna be fine
But in the meantime

Come over here lady
Let me wipe your tears away
Come a little nearer baby
Coz you’ll heal over
Heal over
Heal over someday

And I don’t wanna hear you tell yourself
That these feelings are in the past
You know it doesn’t mean they’re off the shelf

Because pain’s built to last
Everybody sails alone
But we can travel side by side
Even if you fail
You know that no one really minds
Come over here lady

Don’t hold on but don’t let go
I know it’s so hard
You’ve got to try to trust yourself
I know it’s so hard, so hard

Come over here lady
Let me wipe your tears away
Come a little nearer baby
Coz you’ll heal over, heal over, heal over someday

Action Alert: Support the Freedom of Choice Act
| July 11, 2007 | 5:14 pm

The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Federal Abortion Ban – ignoring three decades of precedent requiring protections for women’s health – is a setback for all Americans who believe politicians should not make our private, personal medical decisions!

But there is something you can do to fight back. Support the Freedom of Choice Act that will restore the reproductive rights recognized under the vision expressed in 1973 in Roe v. Wade. The Freedom of Choice Act is legislation that would put Roe v. Wade into law, and guarantee the right to choose for generations to come.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a dissenting voice in the 5-4 vote, called the decision “alarming” and said it “cannot be understood as anything other than an effort to chip away a right declared again and again by this court….”

Help get the Freedom of Choice Act on the books! Urge your members of Congress to cosponsor the Act by signing the petition.
