I have a friend who loves, feeds, watches and cares about animals on a deeper level than most people. She lives on the east coast of the USA. I met her through a friend we had in common. She and I talk on the phone almost every morning. This dear lover of nature has demonstrated … More Mother Nature in Disguise?
Not that there was ever any doubt! But it is easy to lose the connection between our bodies and our minds when we are on the run all day driving here and there, working, checking our cell phones, worrying about our children, where we have to go next, or what we have to do next. … More I Am Alive!!

A lotus is a symbol of purity, self-regeneration or rebirth, which is why it can symbolize the life of a human. No matter how low in morals, self love, hate, racism or anything negative; we can grow out of it to a higher, purer, more loving nature; just as the lotus starts from muddy water … More A Boatload of Guilt
The little girl was hungry but didn’t want to wait for supper. She had had a rough day of learning not to hit her slightly older brother, who wouldn’t give her his toy.
