Inspiration can prompt people to get involved… yet health care legislation tends to be too pie-in-the-sky for average peeps. Therefore, the HeART of Healing project acts to engage on a level everyone can understand, regardless of age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or educational background.
The HeART of Healing October event, sponsored by the Archimedes Movement, promises to contain viral aspects that you all are batting around, AND it will essentially be a homerun because it collectively pools our Archimedes/community efforts creativity under one umbrella.
ART is a language we all understand… that’s why it’s so effective with advertising… and, as always, we’re looking for new suggestions (and you don’t have to be an official artist!), think:
A Healthcare Haiku
On anabolic steroids
The People’s muscleLet us flex our minds
Backbend around policy
Open other’s eyes
There are outlets for all walks of life, and there’s no need to reinvent the wheel, simple locate organizations that help the community…. make a personal visit/call… send them a link to the website… There is no arm twisting involved… so many people want to join in… the awareness that you seek on a national level is TRULY possible with this HeART of Healing event.
Want to create an artful demonstration of reading poetry? Got a burning desire to juggle at a bus stop? Sure! Tell us when and where and we’ll site you on the map. Want to create a rally in your neck of the woods? Sure, let us know when and we’ll tell a wider audience. Want to make a series of YouTube videos with mockumentary commentary about our current state of health affairs? Sure, just send a link! Want to hold a movie night and discuss the implications for a wider audience (Corvallis?)… really, whatever insights for community awareness/AM/thinking differently, empowering populations…. Shifting the paradigm…. It is possible through this exact forum.
Points to consider:
- The internet is a powerful tool that can help us collaborate under a common goal: health.
- If we focus behind the HeART of Healing project, we utilize this precisely placed fulcrum. We will raise awareness, get other people involved, and begin to have the leverage for health reform that we’ve sought after.
- Our voice will not only be loud, but it will be a voice for the people.
You can access the basic Join the Fun Page, where you can learn about the different HeART of Healing events you that can pARTicipate in. I encourage you all to think out-side-the-box and see how you and other community members can plug in, tune in, and sing with a much stronger voice through the HeART of Healing message. This Archimedes Movement project is an effort that is -tapped into mainstream-and your message has a greater potential to be heard. Moreover, it’s crazy enough to work.
Whew! Stepping down off the soapbox, my 3 cents for how we can create true change…
Thanks for reading,

That is the choice facing the House of Representatives, who are nearing a vote on historic health reform legislation but are scheduled to go on vacation at the end of next week.I think the choice is fairly obvious: The House should keep working until they pass a health reform bill - health care is more important than vacation.What say you?
