Seek for me not where the wild flowers grow,
Find me now where dried flowers lie against cold stone
Where the weeds have by thistle choked out the daisy's bright
Casting then upon the ground the most obscuring shadowing of night.
Linger with me in meadows of death's fragrance, find in me the intonation of a voice controlled by grief
No longer does the music of life, love, gaiety and promise play in unheard wondrous relief
But there is now being played on a harp the chords major of a A Vengeance Song urging
As the new theme music of that belonging to an Angel of the Shadows, once more of light, now
Becomes Once More a Stranger To Passion and True Love Forever Merged

First and foremost I wish to thank all of you on DA for your kind thoughts and wishes as I struggle through what is turning into the fight of my life. I seem not to be able to go outside of my house without seeing this less than human Officer of the Lawless. He takes great pleasure in sitting across the street in a church parking lot and watching my house now. I suppose that is why the last evening I, while working on the ballet bar with a coach as I have begun to do, and yes it is painful, I slipped and pulled a muscle in my back. This has now caused me to return to my bed and rest till the shaking stops and then I can resume. NO! HE is not beating me! You all with your gifts, and kind thoughts and support gave me the courage to go to the Town Council meeting a week ago and face him. And at the next town council meeting I will be officially serving him, the Police Department, the Mayor who allows him to continue in his position and The City of Bertram itself. This must be done before the actual official suits can transpire. This is not easy for me but I feel it is MY duty, for even though I dance, I dance through pain even at my top form for I am disabled by a former husband. I fought through abuse once, and I shall fight through this as well, not for myself and the gain that may come from it, it is for all the disabled in America and around the world that I am fighting now. I WANT the officials to know that they CANNOT come into our homes and abuse us! I WANT City, Metropolitan, and State and even our Federal Government to know that YES there is protection for us and I mean to highlight it anyway that I can. IF this means writing about it daily in editorials around the country here so be it, but I cannot help to think how lucky I am and how there are those more unfortunate than I that have no one to fight for them so I WILL! No matter the fear, no matter the pain, no matter the effort that it takes, no matter that I might have to walk into council meetings with a brace on one leg, no matter if I have to go to them at the moment along with that and a cane, NONE of that matters! What does matter is that this stops and it stops now! Not for my sake, but for the sake of the blind little girl that wants to dance, for the sake of the disabled little boy that wants a shot at playing a sport, sure the American Disabilities Act was passed and recently annexed in July of 2008, but as you can see by what plainly happened to me that means nothing to most. But it will!!!! And it is because for you, you who have helped me so much that I will fight! I will fight to dance again just so I can stand up and tell the how and why I can! I will stand up and fight for the others because most of all it is the right and just path to walk and it is a path that is oh so dear to my heart. So thank you all - thank you Margod, thank you Mike, you are not only enabling me to help myself, you are enabling me to help and fight for all the others being trampled on against all that they should know is not just for them. I will educate - I will dance and I will not let this man, who for me has become the Poster Man like Freddy Kruger for my fight against unjust assault upon those in this country and around the world that are disabled.
Is my fight over with my dancing goal? No it has only just begun. But the love you expressed and continue to express is enabling me to fight on for others and lastly for myself.
Thank you so much with all my heart, soul and spirit.
Always,
Katarina




"Walk daily as if it is the last day of your life, for we cannot discern what forces may color the sand that slips through the narrow path of the Glass of Hours Of Mistress Time. Will it be the almost pure white of a moment more promised, or will it be the blood red stain of life's precious flow set to be put into motion to ebb out of us? Who knows what steps either by foot placed, word, thought or deed will be the straw that causes the beat of the soul to shout out, 'I Give."

~There's a special kind of freedom sisters enjoy. Freedom to share innermost thoughts, to ask a favor, to show their true feelings. The freedom to simply be themselves. ~

You are most heartily welcome. I do appreciate your work. And thank you for the compliment, they are my own words.

come and nestle thy wounded spirit in the feathers of my oasis and feel it
feel the softest lightest touch of soothing
hear the gentlest barely audible words of one who through them is renewing
all that life has cast thy way, this I vow, each night on
