User:Just Sister

"Just Sister" is a pseudonym. I also use, with open exchange, "Singing Junipers", "Wandering Daoist".

i'm a 73 year old Daoist nun, of solitary living, but active on the web. I host two discussion groups on msnwebtv, both for older ladies, the one being entirely for "supporting others with warmth" and featuring many games to help stave off stagnation; the other being an issues group, in which we undertake to deal with headlines, environmental problems, various religious and philosophical views, social issues, all as deeply and accurately as we can, in a spirit of benevolence.

We also make forays into the underpinnings of both English and Spanish languages -- a good mental exercise -- and discuss an occasional poem. Few of us are college graduates.

On my own I make web pages, on Daoism, on botany, on zoology, on Earth history, and recently i have been collecting the daily "This Day in History" publications of Reference.com with articles of interest from Wikipedia, and an occasional essay of my own, for a kind of scrapbook online.

I keep a private shrine on a hill overlooking a dirt road, across from a large pond and adjacent to a small one. Sharing my household are two extremely large white dogs, a cat, a bantam rooster, and an elderly muscovy hen.

We are expecting to add three or four goslings, of the rare "brown Chinese" breed, in early April of 2008.
