I just found out about CovenSpace, so I thought that I would try it out.  I live in SE PA, an area well known for its Luthern and Amish affiliations, along with the expected push from the MD Baptists.  It's been a little hard finding like minded folks around here, so I look to places like this to hook up with a community.

I ride racehorses for a living and am a committed.... I don't know what.  Wicca (particularly the writings of Starhawk and Phyllis Curott) is a philosophy that seems to make a lot of sense and fits best with my awe of nature.  I combine that with a long relationship with Aikido and its roots in Shintoism.

I have almost raised two boys and they grew up hearing of, if not practicing, a nature-centric point of view.  Now they are nearly out of high school and each is sharply attuned to the environment.  One is a vegetarian and the other will end up with EarthFirst!, I fear. 

 My ponder for the week: How can doing what we love and are horribly good at it, lead us to a dead end?
