I recenly resigned from a job.
Such moments in the healthcare profession are bittersweet.
I worked with children who cognitively were 6mons. or lower. All were wheelchair bound, and nonverbal. This nursing home/school housed victims of substance/physical abuse, genetic disorders, gang fights, vehicle accidents etc. As many of you may realize.... I use my experiences with these unique beings as inspiration. They are truly a group of individuals who contain some of the most human characteristics that our species posess. I love them.
I was told two weeks ago to cease any music therapy (as I am a board certified MT) with the students. Two days later I submitte d my resignation. I could not go on with the knowledge that I have the tools and experience to create more of a difference in their lives than I was allowed.
My strings do not ring so much anymore.
The children do not sing so much either.
Instead of continuing to exist in the jar they build around me...I decided to fly free.
We celebrated the summer solstyce in class by building a fairy box. I guess the fairies party hard every summer solstyce...and needed a place to rock out.
I hope they atleast had music.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
There are a lot of themes that run through the stock gallery many people have similar ideas but they pull them off in different ways. In this series of newsletters we will look at similar ideas but different outcomes.

When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
