Jim & Matt on Leather

[Guest guest]

Jim & Matt,

I agree with you so much Matt! Being a vegetarian is a journey we are all

on not a destination! We are trying to make our lives better - not follow

some strict set of " rules " . We are all trying to do our best!

 

Jim, I also agree with Matt about not calling yourself old! We are " long

living people " ! I love that!

Peace to you both,

Margaret

 

Dear Jim,

Don't call yourself old! In the Georgian caucuses (you know the yogurt

people) the elders are called the " long living people " and are honored

every

year in a celebration where they march by age groups in a parade. I like

that term much better. Patricia Bragg, says calender years don't matter -

but

biological years do. Being a vegetarian is a good start on keeping your

body

and outlook young. _www.bragg.com_ (http://www.bragg.com) . Read her books.

Ideally I wouldn't wear leather either. I do though. Only for shoes

though, and I only need one or two pairs. Nobody needs a leather jacket. If

you

are that much of a guido, let yours be out of vynl. There is a lot of room

for

improving, and a lot of gray area. Then there is ahimsa leather from India

-taken after the cow dies naturally. There are lots of non-leather shoe

options available online though if are a little less impecunious than I am

right

now.

Another thing is gelatin, I consider myself a vegetarian, but I have

geletin in some of my supplements. The point is a vegetarian lifestyle is a

journey, not necesarily a destination. Otherwise, we'd all be like the

Jains. We

are not though, and it is a constant process of living better. That is an

exciting thought to me.

Best wishes.

Sincerely,

Matt Di Clemente

Brick, New Jersey
