Words from
Amber
|
|
This was Amber's message to a
gathering of families, self-advocates and professionals in Augusta,
Maine. It was her first keynote address! |
|
|
|
It's
about love.
About
always you and I together.
I
love you.
I am glad for you.
|
I
know about your interest in enveloping each other with kindness and
warm thoughts.
|
|
|
|
I
wish to convey to you a blessing for a quiet afternoon to think softly
about this life we are inhabiting together.
|
Around
you are people of all descriptions and interests - angels on this
earth - like the faces of children who have always banished hunger.
|
|
|
|
I
came here today knowing that you would be looking out for ways of
bringing about justice in our world.
|
|
When
all is said and over, speak your truth with authority. Your
ideas, your interests will blossom into beautiful lives.
