Written On the Edge of Another Life...

this was written back in Feb. 2006 in a blog from another dimension, where secrets were abundant and truth only showed its face in small easy explainable bits. I was heartbroken at the people of Idaho. Heartbroken too at the more private realization that I was about to be faced with discrimination and hatred in a more personal way than I had ever experienced before. More so than just being born a woman.

Post election night reality has sent in. So much more I have too say but its all balled up inside other things. So I am going to repost this here instead of typing anew.

I have reached my physical limit of irritation with people who drone on and on about the need to "protect" marriage. Seriously, it makes it sound as if they are members to some posh golfing club. God forbid we allow others the same joys of marriage that I have. Let's see recent joys I can remember... being bored to tears at routine, cooking dinner for the one millionth time, the same old reactions to the same old problems. Yes lets "save" this for the right people shall we?

Or perhaps it's that we don't want to give others the same feeling of the stability or the "foreverness" or comfort that marriage can bring. If this is the case, then shame on us all. We are infinite beings of a vastly loving God. We all yearn for a taste of eternity which through commitment from another person can give us. I can't imagine denying this to someone because they don't love the "right" person. Again I say SHAME ON US.

I envision my creator, after he is done with this grand experiment lining us all up in a row. Black, White, Muslim, Christian, Athetist, Gay, Straight.... and laughing at us (in pity not in joy) for our embarrassing ineptitude at understanding exactly what part of love really needed our protection.
