Thorne

Eclectic, creative, intelligent, wise, naive artist and writer.
Hopeful, disillusioned, idealistic free-thinker.
Mom, partner, wife, widow, lover, friend, grandmother, minister, caretaker, daughter, sister, granddaughter.
Queer, spiritual pagan.

You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

I started here hoping for meaningful dialogue; an exchange of ideas with which to broaden my understanding of politics, religion, environment and most importantly the people and values that people base their beliefs upon. Although I have found a lot of rhetoric, sarcasm, and fools, I have also found a lot of wisdom, considerate communication and discussion that although occasionally heated, seems productive.
I admit I do enjoy witty comments, and snark, and am not above using these vehicles of expression myself, I try to see past these things to the heart of the issues.
I thoroughly enjoy the diversity of topics clipped and of people clipping.
Also, it's an interesting little microcosm.
