Happy Birthday RAW founder, Lee Castoro!

10/27/2011

Friends and fans,
Lee's friend Lisa Feistel launched a site for EVERYONE: straight, gay, black, white and grey to find hope, acceptance and love for themselves and their Creator. Every human being deserves to walk in peace, to love and be loved and to live openly and express without limitation or fear. Enjoy Lisa's testimony, her journey, strength and her TRUTH.

Perhaps a moment of tranquility is our most daring moment. The longer we spend there, the more compelled we are to leave. Our instinctual hesitation to stay or leave determines whether we shall stay familiar or dare to become enlightened with unknown truths about ourselves.

"RAW transforms the way people view, feel and touch photography." I agree. And that's not my ego speaking. RAW is completely different. Forget your "titles" as they mean nothing, open your heart, leave your ego at the door and walk through a human life. Hold the photograph. Feel the joy. Relate to the pain. Cry if you need to. Smile with gratitude- because it's okay. You are not, nor never were alone. That is RAW.

For those who were loved unconditionally
When love was a distant memory
Who were bathed in grace
And comforted by acts
Of extraordinary kindness
Those who rediscovered their voice
By listening
To the insightful wisdom of others
And learned the divine virtue
Of acceptance
For those who glided
On the wings of empathy
And healed
In the arms of women
With the benevolence of angels
Near and far
Who walk the earth.

One of these women inspired Lee to take a stand, to speak truth with eloquence. The other showed him he was never alone. Both believed in him.
