beginning
Well, here it is – my blog. A whole, huge chunk of free cyber white space mine for the bitching, musing, pondering and exploring. And there is much I’d like to do all the above with. I am a Face Book failure. I completely misunderstood what that whole venue was for and took the liberty to post way too much of myself there. Too many videos about my views on spirituality, animal abuse, social issues, and humor. Too many wall posts about these things as well. By the time I clued in to the fact that face book is basically “3,487,000 monologues happening at once” (thank you Ari, for researching this figure and I love you by the way) it was too late. The crazy thing is I LOVE MY FACE BOOK PAGE! It has grown into this incredible compilation of my favorite and most prized quotes, videos and short thinkings ever. So — whalah — (is that how you spell that) — The birth of my blog. Welcome! (I’m speaking to myself here and possibly Ari because I know she loves me so much she’ll probably check-in from time to time). I am giving myself full license to post and write all of my favorite things here with absolutely no pressure (and no disappointment when I find no one reads them). Soon, I will learn all the cool things I can do with this blog and it will be beautiful. Until then? Yes, until then.

Pilgrim….after reading this incredible ,open blog , I marvel… Kindred spirits need and will find each other as we need encouragement, understanding…that is our nature.Viewing EARTHLING was like walking with Dante into the inferno, the dark-side, the places marked”NO TRESPASSING” and we obey just because it is is posted. If we were not ready in our personal and public life we would not have followed the hand to take that DVD off the shelf, or gone to the library and ask them to place a search for it and order the DVD on loan from somewhere else, if we were not ready for change we would not be gleaming what we can on the Web.sites to learn more …about what? About detaching from the commercial experience of living into a more wholesome ,aware life….the trans formative results for me were what I knew ( How easy it is to dismiss inner truth for the convenient) that eating, cooking even having animal products in this house were no longer anything I could live with…nothing with eyes…as it were… so there it is…it is what I had in my heart all the time and it is a tremendous relief to follow ones heart and to show heart by being mindful to others that are struggling with issues in living. Keep on trucking with this blog and it isn’t about you…it is the about this choir, this orchestra all playing or singing their part and the end result?==the music of peace, that we have done what we could and are proud to have open minds and receptive radar… Gerda Wickett. Michigan. Peace.

Thank you so much for your kindness, Gerda. Your writing is beautiful. Your heart shines through your words. Yes, Dante and the inferno, but what a gift to find such compassionate company as we make our way through.
Blessings to you –
Nev
