The meaning of Christianity

As a Catholic and learning pagan, history to me is very... upsetting, to say the least. I respect early Catholics want to spread the word, but I do not appreciate the forced conversions.

 I am also an avid lover of history, particularly early societies and religions in the west. So the Christian take over, which destroyed a ton of history and folk stories, does not make me feel proud to be Catholic. 

The continued hatred of certain groups - it's exactly what God is telling us not to do. And it gives people a bad idea of Catholic values, and that is the very last thing we need.

Christianity is about love, acceptance, companionship and family in the eyes of God. Modern "Catholics" who preach otherwise?

They are the devils among us.

  • this summer

    this summer holds many adventures waiting:

    graduation
    next week I leave this school behind

    the begining of an end

    ice cream and treats with friends
    playing with the neighborhood dogs

  • ocean cottage

    10 years i've spent here
    this cottage by the sea

    these 10 years i've spent here
    have become a part of me

    long i've stood on this shore
    the tides come in and out
    and so my heartbeat follows:
    in and out

  • Alone But Not Lonely

    A tundra desert stretches as far as the eye can see: 

    far away, one might glimpse 
    a wandering soul 

    a little fox, 
    fur white as the snow 
    eyes blue as the coldest mountain creek
