Married, single or involved? Married/Divorced/Married
Children? A boy (21) and a girl (20)
Favorite fast food? Don't do fast food. I'm the resident "how can you put that in your body?" healthy nut.
Do you like to cook, any favorite dishes? Don't cook unless I have to. My favorite dish is a veggie salad topped with good quality extra virgin olive oil, sunflower seeds, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Any hobbies? I read, read, read, and read. Anything holistic or metaphysical related. I study continuously as healing people and animals is my life. I like to garden but haven't done so in recent years.
Favorite Music/Artist? Do mantra's count? I study Kundalini Yoga and sing and listen to mantras all day long. My favorite is Snatam Kaur.
Favorite movies? Bastard Out of Carolina is a movie I think everyone should see. It deals with the prison of poverty. I really liked Brokeback Mountain. To Kill a Mockingbird will always be my favorite.
Ideal vacation location? Having the whole house to myself without anyone calling or stopping by. Having several weeks to do anything I want without anyone else depending on me.
Do you read and what kind of books? How much time do you have? A day without books is like a day without sunshine. I read a lot of books on spirituality, religions, natural healing, philosophy, and historical fiction. Can't stand romance novels, westerns, or science fiction.
Favorite authors? Lyall Watson, David Abram, John Lamb Lash, Daniel Quinn, Starhawk, Taylor Caldwell, Mary Renault, Sharon Kay Penman. and a whole host of others.
Where else do you chat on the Internet? I am a member of over 20 Internet forums. I'm not active on all of them at the same time. I grow tired of chatting with the same people on multiple same-subject forums and get tired of the same topics over and over, so I rotate forums every couple of months. I am a member of quite a few Pagan forums, several literary forums, a Daniel Quinn forum, and a quote forum.
Favorite season of the year? Definitely Autumn. I love the crisp weather, the turning leaves, hearing the fallen leaves crunch under my feet. And of course there's the harvests. My favorite meal is corn-on-the-cob, tomatoes, cukes, and squash.
Any favorite TV shows? All the CSI and Law and Order shows, The Mentalist, NCIS, Criminal Minds, The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Files, and House. Don't have time for any more!
Add something interesting about yourself not in this poll. I'm a stay at home indulging my reading habit. I practice Kundalini Yoga 2-3 times a week, walk dogs at the local animal shelter three times a week. Recently adopted a little guy from the shelter who is a perfect fit with our other two little doggies.
I can't call myself a former no-name church member as I grew up in the faith but was never a professing member or believer. My belief system is that of Paganism. I practice magick/witchcraft in the form of healing the body through healing the mind and spirit.
Two quotes that sum up my view of life and religion...
God does not die on that day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die when our lives cease to be illuminated by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reasoning. When the sense of the earth unites with the sense of one's body, one becomes earth of the earth, a plant among plants, an animal born from the soil and fertilizing it. In this union, the body is confirmed in its pantheism. – Dag Hammarskold, Secretary General of the U.N. (1953-1961)
When I became convinced that the universe is natural, that all the ghosts and gods are myths, there entered into my brain, into my soul, into every drop of my blood the sense, the feeling, the joy of freedom. The walls of my prison crumbled and fell. The dungeon was flooded with light and all the bolts and bars and manacles became dust. I was no longer a servant, a serf, or a slave. There was for me no master in all the wide world, not even in infinite space. I was free— free to think, to express my thoughts— free to live my own ideal, free to live for myself and those I loved, free to use all my faculties, all my senses, free to spread imagination's wings, free to investigate, to guess and dream and hope, free to judge and determine for myself. . . I was free! ~ Ingersol
