U
are a child of the universe- no less than the trees and the stars- u have a
right 2 be here....
CHILD
OF THE UNIVERSE (Lyrics) Desiderata by Max Ehrmann
Desiderata
Go
placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in
silence.
As
far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak
your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and
ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid
loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If
you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for
always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy
your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep
interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the
changing fortunes of time.
Exercise
caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But
let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high
ideals;
and
everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be
yourself.
Especially,
do not feign affection.
Neither
be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is
as perennial as the grass.
Take
kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture
strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress
yourself with imaginings.
Many
fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be
gentle with yourself.
You
are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you
have a right to be here.
And
whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it
should.
Therefore
be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,
and
whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace
with your soul.
With
all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be
careful. Strive to be happy.
Max
Ehrmann 1927

Bully doc
buoyed by teen's petition, PG rating in B.C.

The documentary Bully examines the epidemic of
bullying at U.S. schools and youth groups trying to combat it. (YouTube)
Harvey
Weinstein's Bully sparks movie-rating row A teen activist has collected more
than 200,000 signatures on a petition urging U.S. officials to change the R
rating of the documentary Bully, while the film has received a PG rating in
British Columbia.
Katy Butler,
17, who lives in the U.S., has been urging the Motion Picture Association of
America (MPAA) to change the film's rating to PG-13 so that young people can
see it.
Bully exposes
the epidemic of bullying in U.S. schools by following five victims and their
experiences over the school year.
Butler met with
MPAA officials in Sherman Oaks, Calif., on Wednesday and delivered four boxes
containing the signatures she collected online. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres
has also supported the rating-change campaign.
MPAA
representative Joan Graves said though Bully is a "wonderful film,"
the organization's primary responsibility is to provide information to parents
about films' content.
The group gave
the documentary an R rating because Bully includes profanity in some schoolyard
scenes. The rating means that audience members under 17 require a parent or
guardian to accompany them.
Movie mogul
Harvey Weinstein has been vocal in protesting the restrictive rating, which
also means the Lee Hirsch film could not be screened in U.S. middle and high
schools.
'Coarse
language' warning included in B.C.
Meanwhile,
Bully has received a PG rating in B.C., according to the movie's Canadian
distributor, Alliance Films. In Canada, movie ratings are set by film boards in
each province or territory.
Bully's
official rating in B.C. includes an additional warning of "coarse
language; theme of bullying."
"I'm so
humbled and incredibly inspired by the collective voices across the U.S. and
Canada about this film. Last night, I learned of the B.C. board's decision to
grant Bully a PG-rating. I am thrilled that kids of all ages can now join their
parents, teachers, social work advocates and leaders to bring about change for
this deeply important cause," Hirsch said in a statement.
A PG
classification advises parental guidance and notes that the content may not be
suitable for all children. However, there is no age restriction for viewing the
film.
Bully opens in
select theatres across Canada on April 6.

TEACHER-
Read how a ninth-grade teacher helped her class confront the issues.
Yesterday, the news invaded my classroom. I think the kids
aren’t paying attention. I think the kids only care about the news as it
relates to Justin Bieber. I think they aren’t listening or capable of
advanced thought. Every single time I think one of those things, I sell
out the ninth-graders that come traipsing through my room every day.
It started when I picked this poem to go over different ways to look at poetry:
it’s not true if he says it’s not true
they’ll think it’s not true if they think
it’s not true it will be nothing new
but for her it will be a weightier
thing it will fill up the space where
he isn’t allowed it will open the door
of the room where she’s put him
away he will fill up her mind he will fill
up her plate and her glass he will fill up
her shoes and her clothes she will never
forget him he says if she says
something now if she says something ever
he never will let her forget and it’s true
for a week for a month but the more
she says true and the more he says not
the smaller he seems he may fill up
his shoes he may fill up his clothes
the usual spaces he fills but something
is missing whatever they say whatever
they think he is not what he was
and the room in her mind is open she
walks in and out as she pleases she says
what she pleases she says what she means.
It is ambiguous. I suppose that is the point. The best literature for me to teach is the kind that gives the kids enough to be interested in, but they still don’t have a clear idea of what is going on. We spend the day looking at the poem from every angle we can find, or at least that is the plan.
Yesterday, pretty immediately, someone in the back shot their hand up and did not wait for me to call on them. “Ms. Norman, this poem is about rape.” It wasn’t a question. It is rare for a fifteen-year-old to speak about anything with this kind of authority, let alone poetry. A few kids chimed in to agree with the first student and I admitted that I often read the poem that way, even if you don’t have to. I was about to launch into an explanation of other ways this poem could be read.
“Ms. Norman” another kid called, “Have you heard about that rape case in Ohio? Those guys got convicted. They have to go to jail. They are going to lose their scholarships. They were going to D-1 schools!”
“Well…”I responded, feeling the heat crawl up my neck, “maybe they are going to jail for rape because THEY ARE RAPISTS!” I yelled those last three words at my kids and watched as some of them blinked in surprise. Apparently, the thought had never occurred to them that these athletes who were convicted of rape, were in fact rapists.
It is a strange thing about looking into the face of a 15-year-old, to really see who they are. You still see the small child that their mother sees. You see the man or woman they will be before they graduate. They are babies whose innocence you want desperately to protect. They are old enough to know better, even if no one has taught them.
I realized then that some of my kids were genuinely confused. “How can she be raped?” they asked, “She wasn’t awake to say no.” These words out of a full fledged adult would have made me furious. I did get a good few minutes in response on victim blaming and why it is so terrible. But out of the face of a kid who still has baby fat, those words just made me sick. My students are still young enough, that mostly they just spout what they have learned, and they have learned that absent a no, the yes is implied.
It is uncomfortable to think that some of the students you still call babies have the potential to be rapists. It is sickening, it is terrifying, but it is true. It is a reality we have to face. My students have lived in a world for fifteen years where the joke “she probably wanted it” isn’t really a joke, they need to unlearn some lessons that no one will admit to teaching them.
Standing in front of my classroom and stating that a woman’s clothing choice is never permission to rape her should not be a radical act. But only a few heads nodded in agreement. Most were stunned, like this was a completely new thought. The follow up questions were terrifying in their earnestness. “Ms. Norman, you mean a woman walking down the street naked is not her inviting sex? How will I know she wants to have sex?” A surprisingly bold voice came out of a girl in the back “You’ll know when she says, you want to have sex?!”
If you want to keep teens from being rapists, you can no longer assume that they know how. You HAVE to talk about it. There is no longer a choice. It is no longer enough to talk to our kids about the mechanics of sex, it probably never was. We have to talk about consent, what it means, and how you are sure you have it. We have to teach clearly and boldly that consent is (in the words of Dianna E. Anderson) an enthusiastic, unequivocal YES!
What came next, when the idea of a clear yes came up, is the reason I will always choose to teach freshmen. They are still young enough to want to entertain new ideas. When we reversed the conversation from, “well she didn’t say no,” to “she has to say YES!” many of them lit up. “Ms. Norman,” they said, “that does make a lot more sense.” “Ms. Norman,” they exclaimed, “that way leaves a lot less confusion.” When one of the boys asked, well what do you want me to do, get a napkin and make her sign it, about four girls from the back yelled, YEAH!
What happened in Steubenville makes me sick, but we are kidding ourselves if we think that it is not representative of what is happening in basement parties after the homecoming game all across America. Our kids want to talk about it. They need to talk about it. We need to have conversations about consent that are not centered around what should have been done, but are instead centered on what will be done in the future. Our teens can handle it, I promise they can.
A strong understanding of consent as an enthusiastic and unequivocal yes is essential to reversing the culture that our teens have grown up in. The amazing thing is the way my students responded to the conversation. Our students want a better way, it is our responsibility to show it to them, even if it is scary, especially when it might make us uncomfortable.
Our students are paying attention. They do care about what is going on in the world. They do listen and are capable of advanced thought. I am done selling out the ninth-graders that traipse through my room every day. The news will no longer invade my classroom, instead I will invite it.

The Day I Taught How Not to Rape
It started when I picked this poem to go over different ways to look at poetry:
Witness
Martha Collins
If she says something now he’ll sayit’s not true if he says it’s not true
they’ll think it’s not true if they think
it’s not true it will be nothing new
but for her it will be a weightier
thing it will fill up the space where
he isn’t allowed it will open the door
of the room where she’s put him
away he will fill up her mind he will fill
up her plate and her glass he will fill up
her shoes and her clothes she will never
forget him he says if she says

he never will let her forget and it’s true
for a week for a month but the more
she says true and the more he says not

In the ER, outrage over wanton road carnage
July 26, 2013 - 5:18pm By DR. JOHN ROSS
Dr. John Ross: "For every death we hear about, there are 10 to 15 injury victims we never hear about. That makes us all responsible for challenging this ridiculous culture of acceptance of alcohol abuse in Nova Scotia." (CHRISTIAN LAFORCE / File).
The phone jars me awake. A blurry 3-something on the clock. EHS Communications Centre calling to patch me together with the Life Flight physician, who has been woken up multiple times already, and a surgeon in Antigonish.
I stumble out of the room so as not to wake my wife. The Life Flight physician briefly recounts the futile attempt by the team, who landed at a roadside in Cape Breton, to help resuscitate a car crash victim — now the third fatality at the scene.
They are now flying to Antigonish where four other victims are being assessed and stabilized. They are what remains of the seven people, all under 21 years old, unbelted, who were in a subcompact car that went off the road.
The surgeon is now listing the patients and their injuries. My mind flips between what he is saying and visions of the organized chaos at the scene — the first person there, then fire department personnel, EHS paramedics, and police. Ejected kids everywhere, some alive, some dead.
Two hours later, the youths arrive, one by one, first by Life Flight, then by ground ambulance. From the scene to Antigonish to the Halifax Infirmary, the cast of many emergency care providers have done a fantastic job making sense of this senseless tragedy.
At the Infirmary, where this happens all too often, the trauma team goes to work — further treatments, CAT scans, many specialists, preparation for the operating room.
Then one of our amazing social workers or nurses will join me on the long hallway walk to the family room for the heart-wrenching job of breaking bad news and listening to too many questions I cannot answer.
What does the general public hear about this familiar tragedy? "Three more dead on N.S. highway," or something to that effect. Then something about the annual death toll so far; comparisons to previous years.
Is this worse? Is there a reason? Brief outrage, soul-searching, then the next story, and all is forgotten. What are we missing?
Let’s follow the common trajectory of the survivors from similar crashes. Surviving drivers face major legal and social consequences. Passengers suffer life-long mixtures of the effects of acquired brain injury, followup surgeries, surgical complications, intensive care, chronic pain, paralysis, depression, addictions, and employment problems, to name a few.
Families and friends are affected. PTSD counselling should be available for the first responders, but it is often forgotten, leaving them altered forever.
The majority of these crashes are the result of alcohol misuse. Alcohol poisons brain nerves, resulting in loss of inhibition ("life of the party"), poor decisions and risk-taking behaviour.
Sometimes intoxicated drivers crash into other vehicles with innocent victims. Those who survive end up being cared for by all of us through our public health care system.
For every death we hear about, there are 10 to 15 injury victims we never hear about. That makes us all responsible for challenging this ridiculous culture of acceptance of alcohol abuse in Nova Scotia.
Alcohol intoxication, risk-taking, binge-drinking, under-age drinking are all apparently a rite of passage in Nova Scotia. It is part of our heritage. The annual cull on our highways and waterways (drownings) and other 100 per cent preventable injuries are just collateral damage — acceptable I guess, because few seem to care.
At the same time, lots of people do seem to care about long wait times to see specialists or delays to get medical tests.
If there were fewer people with 100 per cent preventable injuries and illnesses related to alcohol abuse, seeing those specialists and using those tests — might there be better access for people whose medical problems are not of their own making?
When are we going to challenge the "fun lifestyle" marketing of beer and liquor corporations, the NSLC, binge-drinking promotion at bars, and our culture that believes that drinking large volumes of a nerve poison is normal?
Dr. John Ross is an emergency physician in Halifax.

Michael Irving collaborated with survivors and their supporters to create the
300 sculpted quilt square of the "Reaching Out" Child Abuse Monument.
Dr. Irving asks you to participate in creating a collective visualization of
healing and prevention through creating a HandPrint for placement inside the
bronze Reaching Out" Monument figures. Draw an outline of your hand on a
piece of paper; write a message of healing or prevention; send your HandPrint
to Dr. Irving at 274 Rhodes Ave. Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M4L 3A3. www.childabusemonument.com
