I dunno if this was posted by anyone else anywhere else, but I watched this today and felt I needed to share this with everyone who reads my journal :) I am very, motivated i guess you could say, on a very inner level by this. It renews my faith in myself, as well as reminds me of what I strive for with every interaction I have with anyone other than myself. I don't always succeed, hence the word strive, but I do try :)

There are many of us with extremely slow internet, so you have to give us a rundown of what it entails, since we can't watch it. You can't leave us hanging like that. ;)

you could always go to the library :p

essentially its a rundown of what pagans are and are not - we could care less about what others do, as long as it doesn't harm anyone. we do our best to take care of the planet to the best of our abilities, no matter where we are at. we are republicans and democrats, gay and straight, carnivores and vegans, feminists and masculinists (not a word I'm aware, but I was struggling here :p ) we view beauty for beauty's sake. we are outwardly normal or outwardly freaks :) (I fall somewhere in the middle of this one)
we are an invisible faith minority asking to be heard and recognized in a three faith world. we are ashamed of our fringe members and need to change this. we are responsible for all of our members, regardless of whether they would be respected by "normal" or mainstream society. Essentially its a semi battle cry for all peoples to give up the fight, get along, and get over it :)

It loses a bit of itself if I try to tell you about it :)

I think the beginning of the video is a bit stereotypical, but the message is right on. "These are our people''.
