MiSFiTs: Another MisFit has come to light!

Mission Statement

↔↑←↑←↓→↨↔↑Mission Statement←↓→↨↔↑↔↑←↓

Every stone deserves a place to be. Especially when someone has gone out of their way to make it so, then, in doing so, later decides that something went wrong and the stone gets tossed to the side. Perhaps it wasn’t a stone at all, but someone thought it was, therefore it got cast out. Perhaps it is a piece of metal, borne of the scrap of 'ill refuse.'

Our mission is to show that each and every stone, no matter how mangled it is, no matter what it has seen in its better days, it shall have a place in our world, a place to show it’s own beauty before it returns to the big furnaces below where it will be melted, reformed, and remade into something new in the future; long after we are gone. After all, aren't we all living on borrowed time?

Just because it has been cast aside here, over and over, by hands searching for the perfect specimen; just because it has now become one of the “unchosen,” we have made a place for it in our world; because like stone, we, as people also have our own misfits and unchosen, and we are all here together in this world. There is truly a place for all.

It’s amazing when one thinks about it; the thing is: we have been led to believe that we are all perfect in our own way. The reality is that there are only a few absolutely perfect things in this world, and the rest of us?

Welcome to the MiSFiTS.

Another MisFit has come to light!

We have a new MisFit coming to join the others. She just broke her neck and lost her head; so rather than trying to put a new head on her (and we all know how well a head transplant works, right?), we have opted to leave her in her present condition: headless.

She is now a hanger-on as you shall soon see. She has her own sling to carry her around, and she is also always with or near her support group, because anyone who is alter-abled (and headless IS alter-abled) usually benefits by having a support group being close at hand. She has not been named yet, as I am seeking the best fitting name I can find for a headless being. Even though she is a completely disfigured (especially in a semi precious state of being) she still rings of pure beauty if one can get past her initial woe-begone appearance.

Watch for her, in yellow, black and white,
to come your way in the middle of the night.
She's lost her head, and now; what a sight,
But Her beauty will last if you treat her right.
