The Flower With a Dream

Animated Poetry by Katie Rose Waechter

The flower with a Dream

I watch the flower
on the lady’s shirt in front of me
float away,
But every time I look back
there it still lays.
Forever stuck in a sea of cotton,
pretending to be free
with petals shaped to move.
The flower sees me looking.
Me, moving freely.
And it almost turns green with envy
but not really because
its color can never change
while it lays on the cotton shirt.
Perhaps one day it will learn
to move.
I doubt it
but who am I to stifle dreams.

– Katie Rose Waechter

Meet the Wolfpack

But What’s Wrong with Chester?

Cute video with a powerful message. Just like this pack, people have friends and family that are a part of our packs. It is important to look out for each other, and to reach out when you or a member of your pack is suffering with a mental health problem. As this video points out, 1 in 4 people suffer with a mental health problem each year. It is more common than you think and, more than likely, you know someone who is suffering right now. Talk to them before it is too late. Everyone needs a little extra love sometimes.

Not Impossible Labs Presents: Don’s Voice

Amazing video displaying the use of technology to help those in need accomplish simple, yet life-changing, daily tasks, such as talking. This story not only emphasizes how technology can change one man’s life for the better, but also the commitment family members dedicate to be there for someone suffering with challenging medical conditions. It is a story of love.
