"I don't want to believe. I want to KNOW."

Charles Town, WV, USA

What I Want to Do:


 
My Page Billboard
I'm an unconventional, freethinking guy about to turn 50. A Sheltie rescuer, a technical writer, science fiction fan, husband and Dad. I welcome all peaceful beings to my page and life. We may disagree on issues, but we must never harm each other over them.
 
I am somewhere between agnosticism and atheism, because since we cannot have total knowledge of the universe, we cannot be entirely certain that there is no deity. However, I do not believe in the supernatural because there is no proof that it exists. I firmly believe that religion exists only to bolster our fragile racial ego against the realization that humanity is just another species, and that the universe is neither friendly nor hostile, but merely indifferent to our existence. We can go just as extinct as the smallest organism. 

I am convinced Humanity is in a crisis of its own making and that we collectively must cooperate to find our way out before it's too late.

"The April rain, the April rain,
Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."

- Mathilde Blind - "April Rain"

 


 I wish you dear Friend a weekend with peace
and that you enjoy Mother Earth beauty.
With Love

"What is Life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow
which runs across the grass
and loses itself in the sunset."
 
- Crowfoot -  Blackfoot warrior and orator

 

 I wish you dear Friend, a week full of Life
and with Peace.
With Love
Ana

 and the last fish caught,
and the last river been poisoned,
will we realize we cannot eat money."

The Heart

Each day I try to find a path
Between my head and my heart
Mind makes words
But heart makes you feel them
In a world of unexplained mysteries
An empty heart doesnt care
An empty heart has no love to share
A happy heart makes you sing
A happy heart makes you smile
Some are old and some new
Always making you feel something
And we wonder how and why because:
What is a heart?
A muscle that has no pain
But beats for you and the world
Over and over again...



... with Love
Ana

From old to new!

Only a night from old to new!
Always a night from old to new!
And in the first day,
My wishes are few:
The beginning of the end
Of all wars in the world
That all the soldiers safe return home
The beginning of the end
Of the prejudice, intolerance, racism
Hunger, greed, attacks to life.
After that night is the first new dawn
And may we can start from the beginning,
Living together, without haste
In union with kind Mother Earth.



... I wish you a new year full of Love and Peace
 my Friend

"If you have only two pennies
 left in the world,with the first penny
 you should buy rice to feed your family.
 With the second penny,
say the wise Japanese,
you should buy a lily.
The Japanese understand the importance
of dreaming..."
 
Japanese Proverb



... I wish you a wonderful week dear friend
 and, Dream

Friendship

The Friendship I have with you
It is unbreakable
When you're feeling down
All alone and unloved,
Remember I am here for you
Through all of the above.
You will always be my friend
Through whatever comes our way
Because...
The Friendship I have with you
It is unbreakable like time.



... my sweet friend
With Love

Holloween Night

Holloween Night is such a fright
Ghosts and Goblins are really a sight
The witches stir brew
The goblins they drool
The bats fly high up in the sky
While the children all laugh
watching the costumes they pass
As they knock at the doors
They say Trick or Treat
Only in hopes for a really sweet treat
Holloween night is such a fright



... with Love

Ana

Human Energy

When I give light
I also receive,
When I smile
I give light to others,
they give light to me.
It is with the light
all of us give, all,
that we are free.

Hugh Brown, gr 4, Red Wing, MN





... I wish you my friend a weekend full of light
With Love

You have a special place in my heart
The place that will never empty
You take up the biggest space
When your sick
I will be there to confort
When you hurt yourself
I will be there to help
When you heart gets broken
I will find the peaces
No matter where you go
Whatever you do
I will be here for you
No matter what happens
Always know I love you
In every way I can
I will give you my heart
Every last bit of it
I give you my Love
All I have in it.



... thank you my friend

Ana

Fly
Another morning comes again
You rise as soon as the dawn breaks.
You force yourself to carry on,
However much your mind aches.
The thought of freedom,
The tangles of love and pain,
The things you remember to breathe for,
The reasons you remain.
I have one thing to ask of you;
Just please, can you answer me why?
How can you keep your feet on the ground,
When you know you were meant to fly?





... with Love

Ana

"Someone has said that a friend is a bank
of credit on which we can draw supplies
of confidence, counsel, sympathy, help,
and love. And that is true, for if you have
a genuine friend, you possess riches greater
than silver or gold. Which, of course, brings
us to the other sideof the question:
are you, and am I, the kind of friend
that others can treasure?"
