hi! i'm new here(obviously). my name is Bevin(like kevin but with a b), i am 27, i live in sw missouri(not as bad as you think),i have a fabulous boyfriend of 3 1/2yrs, 3 cats(jade,smokey,lucy), 1 yellow lab(mercedes),i'm a practicing pagan but i respect all aspects of spirtuality(as long as you're a good person and you treat people with respect;believe what you want). i love camping,being out doors, hangin' with friends, listening to music(almost all kinds), takin the dog to the creek, token, festivals, art, museums, traveling(we just went and saw Coldplay in St.Louis)it was AMAZING. i collect greatful dead bears, goddess statues, buddas, & coffe mugs. I believe i have a very old soul,as i am said to be wise beyond my years. i am a hippie since birth(i have hippie parents). I am an avid activist, i love my earth and my country but have serious doubts about my government and the man who supposedly runs it. I think that is the problem with people in the world today-not enough love! Most people are to afraid of being compassionate for fear of seeming weak but it is those strong enough to show love in world of hate and violence that make the difference. in the words of Kahlil Gibran "Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution." thanks for reading can't wait to get to know you all. blessed be sisters and brothers Bevin(Moonlion)
