| I loan because: | I'm an old hippie and I believe in world peace and in sharing. I believe we must walk our talk. I believe that there is plenty to go around if we all share. I believe in God -- no matter by what Name you call Him -- There is No God but God -- and we are His servants. I believe that if we follow a Merciful God we too have a responsibility to show Mercy. This is an opportunity. I became a teacher to help people learn how to share. I know this will help -- each tree needs to produce fruit so others might enjoy it -- and a fruit tree needs both a a person so sew it and a person to enjoy it's bounty for it to fulfill it's purpose in it's life. I hope my seeds grow so there will be more seeds to plant more trees and in such a way, the world will enjoy it's bounty. |
| About me: | I became a teacher to help people learn to Love. Love to learn - Love to share. I became a teacher to help people learn toleration, and hopefully Understanding, and finally Love. Some times it's not possible for a student to get beyond Toleration -- but that is better than where they started. Some even learn how to Love. I am still learning that part. But then, it's the most difficult part. Right now I help take care of old or abused Northern Sled dogs -- often they are both. They help me learn about Love. They are an important part of my life and teach me a lot, and often what they teach me, I can teach others. Want to learn about people, own a cat -- want to learn to Love - live with Northern Sled Dogs. I joined because I helped a student - and that student became a friend and years later showed me this organization, which helps me - and her - and so we both grow in an ever-increasing spiral. Thank you my friend. May our spirals grow ever larger. And may the world enjoy itself and it's people enjoy the Plenty that God provides for all of us. Thank you my Friend. |
