Hello Everyone!I've had a blog for awhile over at blogspot (mishkabear dot blogspot dot com) but I wanted one that was mostly for writing about peace. My other one is about everything else, although no matter what I write about, I prefer to take the path of peace.
I'm one of those people who has many interests because somehow I missed the "you can't do this" lessons that weigh down most people. If I wanted to write, I wrote. If I wanted to do art, I did art. If I wanted to play music, I played music, if I wanted to learn about computers, I learned about computers.
To me, the only limits in life are limits of conscience. I see no reason to ever, for any reason, to hurt another living creature. I hope to write about this more in my blog because it is easy to misunderstand. People always say, well yeah, what about if someone attacks you and you have to fight back. I fight back is the obvious answer to that kind of question. I like being alive. I just don't like having death of anything on my conscious, no matter how small and insignificant it appears to be. How do we know some spider isn't grieving for the mate we whacked with a newspaper?
My politics are at the complete opposite end of conservative. I refuse to apologize or mute my speaking up for the poor, the weak, those who have no one to speak for them. If this is Liberal, then I am proud to be a liberal, although I tend to resist labels. I will continue to vote for those who care about ALL people and not vote for those who think a Democracy means turning people against each other over fake issues like gay marriage. These are issues meant to divide and those who buy into them are as much victims and those who are persecuted for wanting to get married to the person they love.
I've been a pacifist for most of my life. I think war is something that only politicians, gun runners, bomb makers, and other morally bankrupt people think is good for a country. It is a failure for everyone. It kills people for stupid reasons. It makes bad people richer. It steals mothers, brothers, fathers, sisters, children from families. It makes people draw lines down the center of their country and demand they pick which side to scream from. There are no good wars. They are all bad. Some are fought out of necessity, but that hasn't happened for at least 60 years, no matter what crap is spewed on faux news and other government propaganda machines.
The only salvation and hope for the planet is love, and it has to start inside our own hearts. If we don't heal ourselves, we have no hope of healing the planet, because that is the main problem: there are sick people running the world. Sick, morally bankrupt, greedy, selfish people. And they know where your own wounds are and how to make you dance to their music. Stop being their willing victims and learn to think for yourselves!
I will write a lot more in my blogs, so check back often for these raving madwoman thoughts. It is my hope that my words and my art will be just a couple of the small seeds needed to grow a new, more loving, compassionate and tolerant world.
I also sell stuff with my art and philosophy at many different places. ..

Please read BEFORE sending bulletins or requesting to be added as a friend:
This is a space by an ATHEIST devoted to peace and tolerance and acceptance of all people, regardless of race, political affiliation or RELIGION.
I was hoping I'd never have to censor anyone from this site because I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to be part of it if they didn't agree with what I've written here.
Sadly, those who have a religious agenda to push have forced me to put up this disclaimer. I consider abortion to be a private decision between a woman and her doctor. I do not think it is something that should be used as a political or religious wedge issue. It's none of your business unless you are the pregnant woman or the doctor. Anything else is meddling and stirring shit.
Therefore, anyone bringing up abortion is not contributing to peace; they are creating a disturbance to further their own political or religious agenda.
Anyone posting bulletins regarding abortion, no matter from the pro or con position will be deleted from my friend list as there is no way that I can see to just delete the bulletin. The same for any attempt to convert someone else to your religion. That is even more private and personal than abortion.
There is so much in the world that exists only to separate people and divide us against each other. Religion and abortion are two topics that have become way too politicized to do anything to further the cause of peace. There are plenty of sites devoted exclusively to their existence. Please use them for a platform and leave this one as it is: devoted to peace and harmony.
Thank you. Have a peaceful day.
