Hecate
I'm part of a group that's been pushing hard for significant reform in health care. Looks like we won't get it this year. I am so tired of being satisfield about winning incremental change. I am so tired of being told to take a half a loaf and being told I ought to satisfied. I am so tired of watching elected officials I voted for, even worked for, who tried to champion our cause telling me that we were lucky to get what we got. I'm just feeling its a hopeless job being an advocate.

Hecate says....
Ever heard of Dorothy Day? She said "No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There's too much work to do."
Besides what makes you think it's hopeless? It ain't over till it's over. And it ain't over yet. Lots of work for you to do still.
Who is Hecate?
Hecate is a Greek Goddess who served as a guide and coach at the crossroads of Hades, where after crossing the River Styx, Greek souls found themselves facing three choices: the Elysian Fields, abode of the great and heroic; the Fields of Asphodel, for all who had led a blameless but ordinary life; or to Tartarus, a sunless land of punishment for criminals.
Hecate's best known role in Greek mythology was guiding Persephone, the goddess of spring, on her annual journeys between Hades and Earth. In the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, Hecate is portrayed as a nurturing and protective guide for Persephone on those annual journeys.
