Greetings Wanderers!
I must introduce myself......and so I must contemplate who I am.......sure, start me out with the most difficult question! I am, at this point in time/space, a somewhat lonely and 'lost' individ- ual. Although in the past I have had other experiences. I do not feel alien from this planet, in fact I feel deeply for the beauty of this earth, and have an abiding love for all of the creatures of nature...... yet I feel removed from the people of this earth. I have always felt different. Unable to relate to the way most people seem to think, and to justify gross acts of what appear to me as inhumanity. I once heard this in a Charlie Brown cartoon......."I love mankind, it's the people I can't stand." Sadly this seems to be the way I relate to people......I don't! I honor all people. Regardless of race, religion, culture...... for I believe we are one. Of the one Creator.

When in school as a young child, a teacher explained the meaning of pre- judice, I was most upset, thinking how illogical and unjust a concept. I even started to compose a book in my mind about it, something to the effect that no matter what the color of our skin, be it black or white or red or golden or green, we were all of flesh and bone and blood, we all had emotions, feelings capable of being hurt......

Also while in grade school, the topic of life on other planets came up, in fact we were to debate it. I just knew there was! How arrogant to assume that there wouldn't be! I feel that these things were rememberings, they rang bells, I just KNEW!

As a child also, I decided that I didn't want to marry and have children. Everyone always told me that I'd change my mind. I knew I wouldn't and I haven't. I am now 43,and unmarried, although I have had relationships, and am with a man now whom I consider a soul mate......we teach/learn each other many things. We have few friends. Most people we know are not concerned about the things we choose to think about. I have no children.

I am now, and always have, lacked direction. What to do with my life! I have some talents and abilities, but have never been able to choose a direction to pursue. My deepest longings are to help people understand their relationship to the planet......that they need it to sustain them, that they need to heed it's warnings...... I long to talk about global warming, about genetically engineered foods, about the toxic elements in the food they eat which cause the diseases they fear so much. But I have no idea how! When people display interest I share what I know and believe, but find that MOST DON'T WANT TO KNOW! I have to honor their paths.

I have had 3 years of university education, (Classics and German) and I have had many jobs of the blue collar variety. My favorite one was one in which I got to work outdoors everyday, in all weather, with eagles and ravens and trees and rivers around me. I live in a small town......not small enough for me! I am drawn to our local lake, where people live scattered around the shore. I long to live there, casting off most of my "stuff", and living a simpler life, where I can comtemplate nature and get in touch with my inner self. I am manifesting this in my life now.

Sooooooooooo.........that's me! Or some of me, anyway. I would love to hear if anyone can relate......

Thank you for your time,
Love and light,
Rain
