Am I The Only One...

...who has seven copies of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's, "The Gift From The Sea," because I love her words, the process she took to develop her thoughts and pour them out on paper, and feel the need to rescue every last copy she finds at thrift stores and yard sales?

...who finds it infinitely hard to let go of things or people that truly touched my heart, almost to the point of driving me insane with regret after having lost touch from them?

...who feels that respect is the one thing you should never lose...for yourself, for others and for Mother Earth?

...who buys organic milk and eggs because she likes to believe that there really are happy, content cows who smell good and have bright eyes and that there are chickens who roam around in green fields of grass picking at bugs and small seeds, laying eggs in warm little nests?

...who thinks driftwood and seashells are outstanding beautiful and should be displayed on every window sill in the house?

...who, after having lost her soul, is rebuilding it from scratch and finds it harder and harder to do it?
