A Poem and a Challenge for you from Drive Mom Crazy Blog

Life bleeds,
life burns,
life scars,
life rejoices,
life reoccurs,
life sulks,
life smiles,
life rises,
life declines,
but most importantly,
life emerges from the distance
as either a rising up to the sky
or a rebirth and rejuvenation to
live it all over again.
Life cries with weeping tears,
life misses other people,
but life also brings the spirit
to all of us to live our life.
I know the passing of great people
in our lives is saddest when
we can’t seem to fathom why?
Why them and not US?
Why them and not I?
Our mission is one
and our mission is whole,
our mission is guided,
and our mission feels fiction sometimes,
but we need to shut our eyes,
we need to gaze into the light and remember,
remember why we are here, and why we are there,
and remember we will return one day
knowing we changed the world, we changed ourselves,
and we changed from hate to love.
Filling our beauty,
filling our dignity,
filling our soul only with every
ounce of energy to live our life
our life to the fullest it can be,
only gives us the matter of how
we live, how we rise, and how we fall
into the cycle or not.
Our deepest sympathies regard us
as the most engaging,
the most intriguing,
and the most knowledge
of what it feels like
to be in each other’s shoes.
Life rewards us for what
we need, what we want,
and what we gave to others.
Sometimes it takes one person,
one group,
one situation to help us
know that we are who we are
and everything happens for reasons
we may know or may find out before we reach our pinnacle
or after we’ve reached the pinnacle moving onto
the other side of what we have never imagined before.
Imagination is simple: Believe in anything you want
to believe, but ultimately believe with immense probability
and little suspicion that everything will happen the way
you want it to happen.
Love the beautiful person you are, love the people in your life,
and most definitely love the creative story you present
to the world.
Other than that, we own ourselves, our identity,
our intelligence, our creativity and imagination,
and definitely our experience with the world.

Let’s immeasurably succeed giving support to those who are struggling the most to succeed because in a nutshell, we our a large community split up into millions of smaller communities. In the end, we are a DIVERSE Human race with a NEURODIVERSE pathways and our different ways of living in the world. Splitting up the people and segregating into different societies while ultimately destroying cultures can not happen, but is happening anyway.
Whatever you are and wherever you come from, we still need to love! Life needs to fulfill it’s greatest vision of hope, love, and community connections. We connect as human beings, but we all disconnect at the same time. I am just needing to imagine a world where Autistic culture or any other culture can feel okay in a world where people are looking for a normal that does not exist. Because in the end, we all need to be more patient, tolerant, and accepting of everyone.

My challenge to you:

1) Help 1 person a day for 4 hours a day for 7 days
2) Don’t accept money or gifts, but pay it forward to another person to do the same as you
3) Teach someone to read, to write, to communicate effectively their way of communicating, or mentor what you have known while learning from them too
4) Spend the 8th day recouping, refueling, and know what you did to make a difference
5) write about it or draw a artistic expression of how it made you feel
6) Always remember what disability and ability does for our humanity, it creates it!!!
7) Then, tell organizations like Autism Speaks to do the same instead of doing what they do now in greed for their salaries, and fundraising for more research and raising their salaries.

Rest in Peace, our amazing talent, Robin Williams, you were an extraordinary talent who inspired me and so many others:)

Sorry it’s been so long since my last post…
