They have feelings just like we do. They get hungry and thirsty, they get cold and tired. They get frightened and sad. They feel pain just like we do and they have a great capacity for love. I believe firmly that they should not be treated as "property." They should be treated as "friends."
I am also involved with environmental concerns. Recycling is very important to me. I believe in conservation and in living "green". It distresses me how developers move into an area and strip it bare of old forest growth just to stick up a bunch of houses on bare lawns...all this while older homes stand empty and unsold. Such a waste of our natural resources. So many animals are losing their habitats. Beautiful wild areas are rapidly disappearing mainly because of greed for the almighty dollar....and it breaks my heart to see it.
The most important thing to me is my faith. Although I am a Christian, I also am interested in Judaism and enjoy worshiping at a local synagogue whenever I get the chance . At the age of 52 I began to learn to read Hebrew and am proud to be able to read the Tanach, (what most people erroneously refer to as the "old" testament," in the original Hebrew....well,, on an elementary level anyway.
I love Science Fiction, especially the Star Wars and Star Trek series. And, I am passionate about gardening. I love wild flowers and enjoy going on hikes to observe and identify them.
My hobbies include creative writing. I write mostly poetry and children's stories. I also enjoy jewelry making and music.view less
