ron09 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 My name is Ron , and I look forwards to learning and sharing with your group . I am a fifty five year old male , from a traditional pioneer prairie farming heritage in Canada . Our family was raised as nondenominational Christians , as that the remoteness and travel difficulties of the praire , in the 1960's , limited our options . As a child , growing up on my Grandfathers farm , I was safe with whatever my parents and grandparents did . As that Grandpa needed to retire , the farm was left to older family , and my family and Grandma and Grandpa moved out to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island , British Colombia . Thus my youth was further enhanced by seeing and experiencing city living , as to rural lifestyles . Unfortunately , my father was taken away suddenly in a workplace accident . Mum raised us five kids on her own for five years . She then meet an Australian living in Canada , and remarried . So we moved to Australia in 1972 . Another big lifestyle change . This is a truly miraculous planet we live on . All of my life , I have held onto that boyhood wonderment , of exploring and studying nature outdoors . I feel a most wonderful connection , and a part of , all of Creation . I feel my heritage , connecting me , with all of my family members , our Vertebrate Family and Mammal Family , It is a most wonderful sense of belonging . I am a member of our small town congregation here in Australia , and I try to attend interfaith gatherings whenever there is an opportunity to . Spiritual folks are some of the finest members of our communities . I hope that these comments are read , with the intention towards building harmony , and peace and prosperity through unity , that the comments are written . From my heart , sincerely Ron . 1 Quote
