| I am pagan. Hear me roar. But my roar is only a whispered shout, a gentle breeze that goes unheard, drowned by the typhoon winds of organized religion. I will not push my religion on you nor will I try to save your soul. I will not knock on your door being a constant nuisance to get you to become part of my "elite" group. I do not seek "converts". Those destined for the pagan way will find it in their own heart. Mine is a peaceful way. In quietness and solitude, I find my strength. I will not preach hell and damnation, nor will I tell you that my way is the only way you can reach the Divine. All Gods are one God. All Goddesses are one Goddess. The God and Goddess are one. I will not corral your children and try to indoctrinate them to my way of thinking. I will not tell them that the devil will get them if they do this or don't do that. Instead, I will quietly Honor Goddess and God in my own way. I will follow what my heart tells me is right FOR ME. I will honor the earth and its inhabitants and do my level best to improve rather than destroy the legacy that has been handed down to me. I will never knowingly harm anyone or myself. What I send out comes back to ME. I will accept responsibility for my own actions and not blame the christians devil or my brother or my neighbor for what I have done. Yes! I am pagan! Hear me roar!

| I'm a free spirit, Haven't fit any slot Ordained by society Since I was a tot. An artistic person, A different drum, Apart from the others, My own line of plumb. An independent thinker With an open mind, Choosing my own paths, My own ways to unwind. I'm a free spirit. I am what I am. If you don't like it, I don't give a damn. I offer no apology. Take it or leave it. I can be a true friend - You can believe it. I've come to terms With the person that's me. I will always remain Different, loving, and FREE! Katydid |
