Catch and release not
as harmless as one would think
hooks always leave scars

Catch and release works...habitat destruction and pollution and public apathy will scar the earth.

believe in what your heart feels...

(big hugggsssssss) So very true, sweet friend, I too know that sting and hope we can all set ourselves free before the hook catches in the first place! (sigh) This is well said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Raphael, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
