What Do I Love?

I love sunshine and blue skies.

I love plants, forests,

mountains, valleys and the ocean.

I love expressing myself creatively

through photography and writing.

I love architecture and cities.

I love music and travel.

I love being as healthy as possible.

I love running, swimming and bicycle riding

all of which I did for years,
although I don't get to do them

currently for various reasons.

And I love being a man

and having a man's body parts

although if I were a woman

I'm certain I would love

my female body parts as well.

What Do I Hate?

I hate racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia,

ethnic and religious intolerance.

I hate lies told specifically to harm

other people in any of multiple ways

And I hate violence of all kinds.
