hi EveryOne, i'm quiet, except when noisy; shy except when outspoken, sentimental except when ironic.  let's reclaim earth-centered wisdom traditions and create our own.  let's assume sentience in rocks, minerals, soil.  let's use the pronoun, who for all beings and entities and re-ensoul the earth.  i consider composting to be a spiritual practice and attempted to launch composting in my township but didn't hear back after suggesting making DIY bins from twigs instead of purchasing plastic bins.  i advocate for the protection and rights of other-than-human-animals; my particular passion is getting animals out of medical research.
