Belief

I believe in birdcalls and grasshopper serenades on dew-filled mornings.  I believe that peace comes from contentment but that few people are content.  I believe in John Lennon more than I believe in the Beatles and that the British royal family is overrated.  I believe in tea more than I believe in coffee and in Macs more than in PCs.  I believe in tofu, mismatched socks, and bamboo.  I believe in a woman's right to choose and a child's right to live.  I believe living 21 floors above the ground makes you miss the earth beneath your fingernails.  I believe sex can be love, lust, or art.  I believe the Dalai Lama is my brother and that George W. Bush is not my president. I believe that there can only be legal downloads.  I believe we reincarnate, sometimes only as the smell after the rain.  I believe in baby bottoms, short hair, and crow's feet.  I believe nature is not my mother but myself.  I believe musical instruments have souls and that the cello has the same color aura as I do.  I believe in indie films, late night IHOP runs, and indoor plants. I believe in no kind of marriage but in all kinds of love.  I believe happiness is life.

I like your values. I like the fact that you value happiness and nature, because it's the same way with me!

I like your views on happiness and contentment, I agree that few people are content but that is something we all strive to be. I also agree with your views on sex and would like to add that lust and love are too often intermixed and confused with one another.

I really liked your saying "I believe nature is not my mother but myself," for it is something I haven't really thought about. I believe we are all connected by nature, but that was a really cool way of putting it. Instead of nature being a part of us, it is us.
