(NOTE: There is, at best, dark irony embodied in this quote given it’s source was a slave-holder. The sentiment remains true however. It is only by confronting the complexity and truths and folly’s and tragic failings of the past that we are able to learn from it move forward from it and appropriately engage with it and with our Ancestors and their legacies.)

-William Ellery Channing
“It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
– Theodore Roosevelt
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else, is the greatest accomplishment.” – Emerson

I think this is a great idea! I was already working on a series of posts about violence, warriorhood and pacifism in Druidry…. and what better time to finish them up and post them than during International Pagan Values Blogging Month!? 🙂
O, P.S. Is there some html code for putting the link-button in our own blogs?
ok, here’s the fun part where I try to remember the steps and codes…
1. Left click on the button image and “Save Image As” to your computer…
2. Upload the image to your blog…
3. The code would then be
“”
With the ______________________ part being the address of the image file from uploading it to your blog….
And if that isn’t right I sincerely hope Mahud will correct me on this…
So glad you like it =D!
And sorry Ali, I haven’t got a html version cos that’s way too complicated for me! But Pax has smartly explained how to upload the image.
If adding in the code by hand use the following:
<img src="IMAGE LINK GOES HERE" alt="Pagan Values June 2009" />
If you want to link the image to Pax’s post add this instead:
<a href="https://chrysalis1witchesjourney.wordpress.com/2009/05/11/june-2009-is-international-pagan-values-blogging-month/"><img src="IMAGE LINK GOES HERE" alt="Pagan Values June 2009" /></a>
hope that helps 😀
Great Idea btw!
Thanks for the code update! 🙂 I’ve put the button in my sidebar, and plan to include it in each “Pagan Values” post I make in June (o gosh, I have a feeling there are going to be several!). 🙂 Have I mentioned that I’m really excited about this blog carnival? I can’t wait to see what everyone writes about! I expect much diversity of opinion and tons of great discussions! Yay! 🙂
