Jim Fulton


Ode to James R Fulton, a man who touched the lives of others with indescribable exhilaration, joy, and awe. 

Jimmy, you have lived the lives of a thousand men, harnessed a thousand dreams, given us hope and something to believe in when everyone said there was none to be had. 
You made things happen. Positive change. Tackled the impossible without fear. Told us it wasn't beyond our reach. Given us belief in a future brighter than anything we could imagine. Showed us there are no limits to the imagination. And proved to us again and again, that all things are possible.  
The enormity of your heart and soul, your boundless energy, and spirited life force is incomparable. You have walked with giants Jimmy, and humbled them all.
I am both blessed and honoured to know you. There is no one can compare with you, now and forever. 

I miss you already, the kindness in your heart, your generous and compassionate soul, and the warmth and love in your bear hugs.

love now, and forever...

moot or hooey?
Jim once walked into parliament with a spawning salmon stuffed down his pants, to prove a point.

Sean Penn at the Huffington Post

Sean Penn has got a bad rap over the years. He's walloped reporters for getting too close to loved ones, been criticized for being too political, but think of the guts and gonads that takes. 

He's not only a phenomenal actor and director, but has proven to be a talent in the writing field as well, articulate and smart, as you'll see from the article below.
He's fiercely loyal to what and whom he believes in, and he's not afraid to stand up for those people and beliefs and say the things or ask the questions most people shy away from.

I believe the more people like Mr Penn there are, who are willing to stand up, speak up and boldly move forward, the more likely we are to be inspired to believe in the reality of the power of the voice of a single man.

check out Penn's article/essay, Mountain of Snakes  as well as a multitude of others at the Huffington Post.

more significant change has been made by lone advocates.
