"Anyone knows an ant can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes
He's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie
In the sky hopes
So any time you're gettin' low
'Stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant"

#CripCoop principle 7: This is for real. We've waiting for enabled people to support us for far too long.

"We're making it up as we go along, humming a half remembered song. When we woke up we thought what's the big deal. Then we remembered, this is for real.

#CripCoop principle 9: Keep dreaming. Having dreams is political. Making them come true can be lots of fun. You CAN do this (whatever 'this' is) You know what you're capable of more than anyone. Trust your instincts. If you don't try, you'll never know #Disability #DisabilitySky #NEISVoid #CripArts
"Half my life's in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the feelings come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me if it's just for today"
