30 Day Meme -- Day 08 and Day 09
Day 08 - A moment
Being in the Mat-Su Valley part of Alaska with Amber, walking along the rocks of a stream connected to a glacier and collecting silt from a large glacier you can see from her house:-)
Day 09 - Your beliefs
Wow, this is a loaded question... I am a panentheist -- I believe that God is in everything and yet beyond everything that we are capable of knowing. I believe all the gods known exist as some type of spirit, and I believe there are spirits in all living, and some non-living, matter. I think I'm some kind of eclectic Christo-Pagan, starting to realize my Celtic roots. I feel connections to the goddesses Brigid (my namesake) and Persephone. I believe in reincarnation and other dimensions. I believe in heavens and a purgatory of some sort, where we all eventually realize the pain we cause others and feel that pain ourselves and feel remorse, but do not believe in any kind of hell. I follow the teachings of Jesus, but do not believe in the trinity or the idea that he is literally God anymore than any of us are (though I believe he was a prophet). I believe in ghosts and spirits of all kinds. I believe there is no death of the soul and eternity is true existence -- time is an illusion.
I believe in treating others how they wish to be treated, as long as that doesn't infringe on the rights of others -- including your own. Politically I'm very liberal, though I used to be pro-life. This was because of my belief that even bacteria and stones possess souls and it seemed a risk to kill something that might already be living. Yes, I felt bad for sperm that died. Now I see abortion as sometimes necessary and a right, but one that should be treated seriously and not forced on anyone. No one should be guilted into it or guilted for choosing it.
I'm in the process of trying to become a "mostly vegetarian" (meaning vegetarian except for maybe 4 times a year) and buy cruelty-free products. I believe all living things are of equal importance and want to do as little damage and as much good as possible.
