I love you deeply. Yes, YOU! Remember that no matter where you are, who you are, or what you might have done in your life, I love you and want nothing but the best of life for you. I remember what clean water tastes like...it's crisp and fresh and it tastes like life. I want you to be able to experience the taste of clean water too. I feel things to the depth of my soul. I believe certain things and these beliefs are fixed firmly inside me. I also recognize that what you believe is fixed just as firmly in you. I respect that in you and ask that you give that same respect to me and others who may have differing beliefs. Sure, try to change my mind or someone else's, but do it with respect and regard for that person's beliefs. People are scared and hurting. They are hungry and tired and their souls are yearning for something, but they aren't sure what it is they are searching for. They are searching for love from our fellow humans. They seek kindness, compassion, understanding, and love. Give love and the rest will follow. Oh please, brothers and sisters, give each other love.
I am disabled with agoraphobia and rarely leave my house. The internet, therefore, is a gift from the gods. I spend part of everyday reading news and blogs, but found after posting a few times, that I seemed to have trouble communicating through the written word.
Suddenly though, something (God?) has made me vehement in speaking out. Sometimes speaking out gets me in trouble though, because I don't have that certain finesse. But remember, please, that even if I don't say something as well as I could have or should have, that I am speaking out of love for you.
You do. I mean it - You who read this profile, sisters and brothers all, YOU give me hope."Why," you ask? Well, you wondered about me enough to discover more about my feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values... Eventually, you will wonder about the next person; that one who lives in a country you consider "hostile," or "ignorant," or ("insert any prejudice here"), you'll be surprised and humbled, angry and heartbroken, because of what you find as you wonder and discover that those "other" people, those who seemed so different - are not quite so. And there, THERE is why YOU give me hope.

Honestly? Well, the first thing I'd do is gather every world leader together in one room. Then I'd fill the room with the sweet, holy smoke of God's Kaneh Bosm and tell them all they won't be coming out of that room until they find peace and figure out how to keep it. I wonder what would happen, don't you?
What/who changed my life and why
when I gazed upon the face of an animal that had lost all hope. At that moment, I realized how deeply we offend the Almighty when we show disdain or disregard to any of His/Her wondrous creations. It was after this event that it felt like scales had fallen from my eyes. Within the past year I have become so much more aware of how evil must be destroyed forever, so that we can evolve as our spirits were meant to do.
"Youth is impulsive. When our young men grow angry at some real or imaginary wrong, and disfigure their faces with black paint, it denotes that their hearts are black, and that they are often cruel and relentless, and our old men and old women are unable to restrain them. Thus it has ever been. Thus it was when the white man began to push our forefathers ever westward. But let us hope that the hostilities between us may never return. We would have everything to lose and nothing to gain. Revenge by young men is considered gain, even at the cost of their own lives, but old men who stay at home in times of war, and mothers who have sons to lose, know better." Chief Seattle
