Dear Lactnetters, Garth Brooks (for you non-country music people - Garth is IN!) has a new music video, just released, to remember the Oklahoma City Bombing Victims from last year. I thought the words were so in tune with Susan's comments about positive action. The song is titled "The Change". One hand Reaches out And pulls a lost soul from harm While a thousand more Go unspoken for They say what good have you done By saving just this one It's like whispering a prayer In the fury of a storm And I hear them saying you'll never change things And no matter what you do it's still the same thing But it's not the world that I am changing I do this so this world will know That it will not change me. This heart Still believes That love and mercy still exist While all the hatreds rage and so many say That love is all but pointless in madness such as this It's like trying to stop a fire With the moisture from a kiss And I hear them saying you'll never change things And no matter what you do it's still the same thing But it's not the world that I am changing I do this so this world will know That it will not change me. As long as one heart still holds on Then hope is never really gone What I do is so This world will know That it will not change me. We all believe breastfeeding should be the norm, not the better one! But some days the obstacles (the hospital policies, the physician, the husband, the grandmother, the hospital/office staff, the media, the parent literture, the formula companies, etc) seem to be SO overwhelming. We all need to remember "As long as one heart still holds on Then hope is never really gone What I do is so This world (that mere part we each individually touch) will know That it will not change me."
