It is urgently important that we unveil the deceptions and delusions that allow us to compartmentalize our compassion, goodness and ethics.

We must stop betraying *non*human lives and the Earth.

When we discover our conscience ~ we must act.

All beings cherish safety, family, freedom and LIFE

Horses ~ Facing the Wind Together



Let us share our strength, courage, kindness and compassion. Together we can weather this storm. We will need much patience, inner wisdom and endurance - but good deeds, responsible action and love will get us through these challenging times.
Let us strive to become the best we can be and then rejoice together in a more loving, peaceful and healthy world.
