That said; I do not mean to get preachy here. We try to keep any specific religion out of our philosophies here. Personally I feel organized religion should not be needed for people to live a good sense of ethics. I just pose a few question, and offer a few suggestions to consider. If you do decide to explore further into our philosophy pages linked below and still wind up taking grave offence to what is written here, perhaps you refused or were unable to consider what we are trying to say.  Our intent here is to help enlighten people to learn LOVE and compassion for life and each other, as well as for yourself.  If nothing else, we hope for these writings to inspire a healthy open forum of communication for sharing ideas with those around you.

We do welcome your constructive criticism and ideas, but keep your negative and hateful comments to yourself please!  If hate and being judgmental is all you tend to express, seek professional therapy. Also be very patient with yourself, as it commonly takes a great deal of time and often a lot of rather unpleasant effort on your part to go through that healing process. It may even require many life times in order to evolve into a more sentient creature. We are all in the process of evolving at some point, so don't feel bad about what ever stage you are currently in.

If you are willing to share your thought with any strangers on the Internet (as we have done here), we may be willing to publish your philosophies as well, or link to your web site. We may add your polite and intelligent compliments or even counter points here on our web site.  Just e-mail your thoughts to us for consideration, and remember to mention if you are willing to share your ideas with the world.

We try to be as brief yet concise as possible.  Please excuse us if we get a bit wordy with our philosophies, as we are trying to communicate as clearly as we can, but all together this web site is still shorter than a typical novel.  They are broken down into several different topics from which to choose.  Most of these are personal writing of David & Tia Rich in Eagle Creek, Oregon. There is also several other professional authors and a few less professional.  Feel free to browse through our minds.

(remembering to pick up after yourself before you leave) <LOL>
