The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Opening Minds and Touching Hearts
On Humanity
Wonder
by Natalie Merchant
Doctors have come
from distant cities
just to see me
stand over my bed disbelieving what they're seeing
they say I must be one of the wonders
of god's own creation
and as far as they see they can offer
no explanation
newspapers ask
intimate questions
what confessions
they reach into my head
to steal the glory
of my story
they say I must be one of the wonders
of god's own creation
and as far as they see they can offer
no explanation
I believe
fate smiled and destiny
laughed as she came to my cradle
"know this child will be able"
laughed as my body she lifted
"know this child will be gifted
with love, with patience
and with faith
she'll make her way"
people see me
I'm a challenge
to your balance
I'm over your heads
how I confound you
and astound you
to know I must be one of the wonders
of god's own creation
and as far as you see you can offer me
no explanation
I believe
fate smiled and destiny
laughed as she came to my cradle
"know this child will be able"
laughed as she came to my mother
"know this child will not suffer"
laughed as my body she lifted
"know this child will be gifted
with love, with patience
and with faith
she'll make her way
The Minpins by Roald Dahl
Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.

This is fantastic. If nothing else good comes from the nomination of Sarah Palin to the post of VP, this is good. Especially the interview part that didn't make the broadcast.
(Of course, there's a part of me that wishes they'd talked to a couple that wasn't Catholic and/or already pro-life. It continues what I think is the fallacy that any so-called liberal would OF COURSE just choose to terminate or "selectively reduce" their unborn child with Down syndrome-- I like the quote from Sarahlynn over on her blog (http://sarahlynn.blogspot.com/2008/09/but-its-saturday.html) about how it would be morally wrong to abort a child with a genetic disability BECAUSE of that disability, which has nothing to do with religion.
But I realize that's my personal hurdle.)
Anything that furthers the education and the outreach to make people more aware of kids like mine is a great, great thing.
Thanks so much for sharing that second video. That's one I hadn't seen and found very interesting.
