Green Oasis

Some of the ideas that I will express here will be uncomfortable for some. They were uncomfortable for me. That discomfort motivated me along my path of personal growth. It would defeat my purpose—which is to bring us to a mutual understanding—for me to avoid those uncomfortable issues. It may be tempting to imagine me as angry or hateful as you read my words, but please instead endeavor to see the calm spirit which motivates my writing.

I promise that I will not try to persuade you to believe as I do. My beliefs don’t require that you share them. Instead, I only hope that you will see the world through my eyes just enough so that you will understand why I have changed.
