Like arid land in summer
My dry heart thirsts for you,
RIding a tide of lust,
I surge and search for you…

No, you aren’t fighting just for your people,
The Kurdish Braves,
But for all of us,

A Warm Welcome to a Cold Country, Campobello Island

The exciting ordeal of crossing from the land of stars and stripes to that of the maple leaf, from the toughness of border police to the warmth of an island home. My one and only cherished couchsurfing experience, and strong Canadian ladies. Welcome to Campobello Island!

What a waste
The tamed shrew –
She could have won an Olympic gold,
She could have been a magnificent mime,
She could have written plays better than Shakespeare,
Excuse the sacrilege

India’s garbage problem. Despite the glorious esthetic and spiritual traditions, the problem of waste accumulation and inadequate disposal is undermining India’s life and beauty. Change is coming but slow.

Saving the Planet One Cow Dung at a Time, India – Part 2
March 16, 2019
3 Comments
Cows are holy, goddesses are revered, female pilots fly commercial, but are millions of rural women collecting cow dung doing sacred work, or dirty shitwork? Ecological, financial value of rural women’s work is high, but they don’t own anything. Academics give conflicting views on how the work is perceived in the community and by the women.
Israeli Phenomenon in India, Part 7 – Less Obvious Motives
April 3, 2019

Less obvious reasons Israelis to India include personal issues, spiritual needs, religious quest, national / existential issues, a strong need for answers. Israelis are perfectly suited to bridge East and West in the Indian setting, and India is a perfect simulation for what peace could look like.
My Personal Spiritual Salad
May 25, 2019
No Comments
My personal spiritual salad is based in some Jewish ideas, with a melange of Eastern, American Indian and other elements, including my childhood books, with an emphasis on physical practices and the connection body-mind. My “core belief”, or perception system, is grounded in the inherent spirituality of Nature and in my scientific understandings.
Rojava – A Social-Feminist Utopia at Heart of Middle East

Rojava Kurdish communalist utopia – a radical social feminist experiment is taking place at the heart of the boiling Middle East with 4 million people partaking. Hardly anybody has heard of it. Why?

The spirits of the mountain

on the ancient Goddess’s grounds…
On Their Home Turf – Scoring Goals at Patriarchy’s Last Stronghold

Female soccer is still a rarity in Israel. I find satisfaction and compensation as a woman with the latest world championship, and thank men who support us. It feels like the last glass ceiling had finally been shattered, just as politics around the globe get very ugly and backwards.
Amritsar Border Ceremony, Most Surreal Sight on Earth

Amritsar border ceremony is an outlandish event, where two nuclear powers pause to make war look like a cricket match, and where Indian women show off their freedoms to their Pakistani counterparts.
Mata Lal Devi Mandir – Amritsar’s “Ladies Temple”
July 31, 2019
No Comments
Mata Lal Devi Mandir, or in its common name “The Ladies Temple” in Amritsar, displays an abundance of goddess figures and pictures, as well as an effeminate Buddha and is dedicated to a 20th century bespectacled female guru reputed to live on fruit and milk. Atmosphere is much more relaxed than in the Golden Temple. A good tuktuk driver is essential for a great rambling day around the city.
