I think it is possible or even likely that the biosphere of earth is sufficient substrate to give rise to mind. I'm a part of it. I believe I've heard or felt it. I couch my awareness of this in mythology, because I ...[text shortened]... re of spiritual reality. So I love the great goddess, terra, mother nature on earth. I am pagan.

Life isn't just rainbows and butterflies. Lock your doors and keep a hammer close. Be ready to use it.

Butterflies and rainbows, why would I hate them? I don't really, but I see they lure us into a feeling that the world is safe and nice. It is not.
I live everyday in an area that could fill glossy magazines with nature pics. And in town meth-heads kill people too often. Lock the doors, be ready to fight. That is the opposite of wishy-washy, right?
