Welcome to Spirit of Love's Way! This is an educational and inspirational gathering place for people who already have felt, or now feel, the need to demonstrate their compassion for animals by choosing a diet which doesn't include their painful suffering and death.

It  is also for people who because of their compassion for animals want to eat less flesh and want to be more or mostly plant based.

​

The different pages in this website are oriented around different activities of

Love's Way in The Spirit of Love.

In "Spirit Cares" you'll  find many quotations of famous people sharing why they have chosen a diet which doesn't include animals. I suggest you read only three or so at a time and really allow them to speak to you. What do you feel? Can you hear the voices of the voiceless?

  In "Spirit Loves" you'll find many statements concerning the word "Love." People say they "Love animals."  Yet, as pets they love and live with some more  and love others less and consume their flesh. Ask yourself , "What is Love's Way?"  Again, read these slowly and allow them to really  resonate with you.

The page "Spirit Gathers" will have opportunities for gathering together in Columbia, Missouri for spiritual companionship activities.

The page "Spirit Sings" shares some great veggie songs available on the web and also some songs which were shared with me by The Spirit of Love.

The page "Spirit Speaks" shares my spiritual veggie journey from being an omnivore to being a vegetarian in 1981 and now a vegan. 

In "Spirit Laughs" we'll share some smiles.

Finally, in the Blog we'll be able to share our thoughts and ideas on many subjects.     

​

 Change happens too slowly, but if only one person does open their heart and soul to the words and images on this site and chooses to adopt a more or mostly plant-based diet which will do less harm to their body, the Earth, and the animals then my time and effort will be for the Good. If only one person becomes a vegan or vegetarian and shares their new way of life and love with others, I will smile and say "welcome to Love's Way."

namaste, geoagape         (pronounced jah-gah-pay)

​

Elaine Pagels of Princeton University once said to me in San Francisco at  a book signing,

"geoagape, that's a beautiful spiritual name. Did you give that to yourself?"

I smiled and replied, "No, The Spirit of Love and I worked on it together."

It's based on one of my life mantras, "The EARTH is a garden for growing LOVE."

geo = Earth      agape =  unconditional love in Greek

I include a lot of NASA photos of Earth because all of the astronauts who get the

"whole Earth perspective" or as one astronaut coined it "the overview effect", are changed people.  They see just one fragile and beautiful planet which is the common spaceship for all Earthlings, including the non-human beings who share sentience with us. They have experienced and now know we are all

THE ONE.
