MOONSINGER'S VIRTUAL HOME

PLEASE BE WARNED! THIS PAGE IS SAFE FOR EVERYONE TO BROWSE!
Hi, fellow surfer. I'm Moonsinger, and this is yet another
attempt to communicate with as many people in the world as
possible. What a trip this net-thing has turned out to be!

I'm interested in philosophies, science fiction, movies, music (mostly jazz/new age),
gardening, animals and their welfare, vegetarianism,
ceramics (real clay and fimo, too), and mysteries of life.
A new dawn comes to life every 24 or so manmade hours, and with each dawn,
the realization that this is a really fantastic world,
with truly diverse species.
I believe we as the human species MUST begin to treat all
other species better than we do now, including our own species.
Another belief of mine is that communication is
one of the keys with which to open that door of positive evolution.
One way I'm communicating is with some songs I've written and recorded that
more or less give thanks for all that surrounds us.
If interested in learning more about that, email me.

We ate no flesh in Eden, but afterwards,
when things got hard,
we forgot the peaceful kinship
of that ancient kingdom.
As our teeth sank into their flesh
we had to deny them,
So we said they had no souls, no reason,
no thumbs, no speech.
We were so different.
We made a chain of things to protect us --
fire, medicine, our locking houses,
many kinds of clothes.
And we renamed them -- farm product,
fur crop, renewable resource.
Pray that we will see their faces again
in the mirror of creation,
the miracle of animals, their clear eyes
meaning more than profit to our own.
---Jean Pearson---

All the animals who had been ill and old
are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed
are made whole and strong again,
just as we remember them in our dreams of
days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content,
except for one small thing:
they each miss someone very special,
someone who was left behind.

They all run and play together,
but the day comes when one suddenly stops and
looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver.
Suddenly, he breaks from the group,
flying over the green grass, faster and faster.
You have been spotted,
and when you and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion,
never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face;
your hands again caress the beloved head,
and you look once more into those trusting eyes,
so long gone from your life,
but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

Hidden away in a wire crate, he is left alone for most of the day.
Day after day.
The barriers keep him tight, with sides so close to his body there is barely enough room
to stretch comfortably or to stand up straight.
The muzzle strapped around his face keeps him quiet.

He is a living creature, but has no life, only time.
Time to stare, to sleep, and most of all, to wait.
Wait for the next race, where he will run his heart to its limit.
For this is all he knows about living.

So eager to cross the finish line.
Just wanting to please.
Maybe if he wins he'll be showered with affection and a warm touch.
Not in this lifetime.
Not in his short lifetime.
All he will be showered with is a cold stream of water to hose off the sweat,
before retruning to his crate.

His brothers and sisters share this lonely and inhumane existence, helpless in their
colony of solitary waiting rooms.
Warm bodies separated by the wire grids.
Desperate eyes searching for others to bond in momenta of silence.
whispers at night are solace in the dark.

His heart tells him there is more than waiting numbly for the next race.
Companionship and the soothing sound of a voice, the softness of a touch, the
securtiy of a hug--he has never had them but knows they would feel just fine.
Just being, just living.
Comforts so unlike his current fate.

The life of a dog, yes, even a Greyhound dog is all he dreams of , I think.
The dreams fill his days, all alone, muzzled and cramped in his crate.

You can miss what you never had.
He is living proof.
