R.Kelly – I Believe I can Fly

R.Kelly – I Believe I can Fly

With fondest memories and love always to the man in my life who has taught me how to fly

I used to think that I could not go on

And life was nothing but an awful song

But now I know the meaning of true love

I’m leaning on the everlasting arms

2 – If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it

1 – I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
(Oh) I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes the silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me

(repeat 2, 1)

Could I believe in it?
(repeat 2, 1…)

Disatrous Advice on Children’s Health | Why Doctors Are Still Idiots

Disatrous Advice on Children’s Health | Why Doctors Are Still Idiots

It’s nothing new, but Doctors have been full of nonsense, junk science, negligence and harmful advice for over the last 150 years or so. Mandatory vaccines suddenly being forced onto parents by doctors and so-called “health authorities” in places like Maryland, New Jersey and Texas, you might think that doctors being full of bunk is a new phenomenon.

WHY DOCTORS ARE STILL IDIOTS

When it comes to medical idiocy, these examples are just the tip of the iceberg. The same hopelessly outdated medical system that has given us cigarette-promoting doctors, breastfeeding-censoring doctors and superbug-breeding doctors is now claiming your children need yet more chemicals in their bodies in the form of vaccinations!

And, by the way, these doctors are the only people in the world who are right. They’ll tell you so themselves! They are the sole source of all knowledge on anything related to health and medicine, and they’ve now garnered enough political power that they’ve managed to criminalize parents who disagree with their medical dogma.

You know what the difference is between God and doctors?

God doesn’t think he’s a doctor.

These days, instead of doctors simply being full of nonsense, they are suddenly a very real danger to your personal freedom. Before, they were just peddling health nonsense. Now they hold the keys to your freedom and the custody of your children. Refuse to go along with new mandatory vaccination programs in New Jersey, for example, and you can be arrested, imprisoned, charged with a crime and have your children kidnapped by Child Protective Services. How dare you disagree with the High Priests of medical dogma!

Personally, I don’t necessarily mind doctors being full of crap. It’s amusing to watch, and hilarious to document. But I do mind doctors being full of crap while invoking law enforcement authorities to pull out a Glock, slap a 10-round magazine in the grip, point the barrel to the head of a mother of three children and demand, “Take OUR medicine, or you’ll be arrested.” Which is, of course, essentially what’s happening in New Jersey and Maryland right now. It’s called Gunpoint Medicine, and if you don’t believe me, move to New Jersey, and refuse to have your children vaccinated. It won’t be long before armed men show up at your front door with Child Protective Services standing behind them, ready to grab your kid, toss him into an unmarked van, and have you arrested for “resisting vaccination.” This is not fiction. I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried. It takes truly evil people to dream up this kind of medical terrorism — the very people who work for Big Pharma and the FDA.

Or maybe I’m wrong about all this. Maybe doctors and health authorities have been full of crap for a hundred years, and now all of a sudden in 2007, they’re instantly right! Maybe they’ve been visited by supernatural, omniscient beings who gave them perfect knowledge (along with a new Merck vaccine) and all they’re doing is running around the country saving little children’s lives for the good of humanity.

Perhaps 2007 is the new Golden Age of children’s health, to be initiated with a mass injection of kiddies with a dozen new toxic mercury injections to “protect” these kids from things that will probably never happen to them. Maybe now, in 2007, organized medicine has reversed all its years of bullsnot and finally found the light! And that light, we’re told, comes in the form of a pill… or a vaccine… or chemotherapy… or whatever they tell you to take next.

Yes, indeed! We’ve been saved by Big Pharma and a brigade of doctors! Hail the FDA! Praise the pharmaceutical giants! Give thanks for mandatory injections! Listen to the doctors and we’ll all be saved!

Isn’t it quite upsetting knowing the effects and ignoring them? To read the whole article go to the related website below (and you can also leave a comment):

The Woodland Trust | UK’s Leading Charity

The Woodland Trust | UK’s Leading Charity

Woodland

The Woodland Trust was founded in 1972 and is the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity. By acquiring sites and campaigning for woodland, they aim to conserve, restore and re-establish native woodland to its former glory. The Trust has grown to care and protect over 1,100 sites covering 19,000 hectares (47,000 acres). This includes nationally and internationally important sites as well as small urban and village woods. Nearly 350 of their sites contain ancient woodland, over 6,000 hectares, of which 70 per cent is Ancient semi-natural woodland – land which has never been cleared or replanted by man.

The Woodland Trust has created 3,200 hectares of new native woodland. Their Millennium Commission backed Woods on your Doorstep project has created 200 new community woods in England and Wales and 50 more in Northern Ireland and they are creating one of the largest broadleaved woods in Scotland at the 4087-hectare Glen Finglas Estate in the Trossachs. The Trust owns 20 sites covering 430 hectares (1060 acres) in the National Forest in the Midlands and have sites in all 12 Community Forests across England. In this way we are major contributors to projects which are improving the lives of millions of people.

The Woodland Trust also protects over 110 woodland Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), the UK’s finest examples of wildlife habitats.

The Invitation | Oriah Mountain Dreamer

The Invitation | Oriah Mountain Dreamer

By Viola Woolcott

When Oriah Mountain Dreamer wrote her profound “Invitation” to a life that is more fulfilling and passionate and with greater integrity, she did not expect the small prose poem (excerp below) to reach the level of popularity that it has.

Oriah invites us to get a life instead of buying into a lifestyle. The below excerpt of her book “The Invitation” is a word-of-mouth sensation, whose truths have resonated with people all over the world.

I appreciate that we are all different and that we all find our own way on our personal Journey’s, but for my part, I recall a time in my own life (almost 7 years ago), where this particular ‘Poem’ helped me take one day at the time, supporting me in the many hours of despair. If the poem is a challenge to us, Oriah Mountain Dreamer tells us how to meet that challenge in her inspiring book.

The Invitation
By Oriah Mountain Dreamer

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon, I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain, I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true, I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul: if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it’s not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours, and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!” It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.

I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children, It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here, I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied; I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else fall away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
