Route 90 is one of the most beautiful scenic routes in Israel, but poses an immense challenge for the best of Israeli drivers, and most of us are far from best… The bulk of the road is still a 2-laner, carrying salt trucks from the Dead Sea, car carriers from the Eilat Port and the usual load of impatient Isreli drivers. This can be a recipe for trouble.
From a misbehaving new rental car to a misbehaving credit card, my problems mounted prior to the second part of my trip. Solving problems with a litlle help from my friend, and renewing an old friendship, I eventually set out to go thanks also to a little bit of Soul and had a lucky lucky day.
I like to be
Stranger in a Strange land
Like to not be
where you are from
where I’m from
Not belong
an Other
I abjure responsibility for:
Colonialism,
White Privilege,
Slavery.
The Crucifixion,
The Book of Joshua,
The Settlements.
Look at the dead cat’s body
Sprawled on your neighborhood street
For ten minutes.
Look straight
Don’t blink.
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
Dear New Worlders,
We heard about your latest mass shooting ,
So we thought we’ll just mention, if we may,
that
Oh, we’ve seen it all already –
Help!!!
Time is killing me
One minute at a time
And nobody comes to my aid.
All manuals fail,
Parents aren’t here to kiss it better
Happiness pursues me
But she is not my match.
I will always beat her
In this game of catch.
Israelis desert their homeland for the High Holidays. Warmed relations with Saudi enable air carriers to fly direct, shrinking the continent for the India-bound Israeli. And the crowd is not what you think…
This year, statistics show that, on average, every Israeli will travel out of the country. Many go to India.
Israelis in Tushita Buddhist Meditation Center, Dharamkot, are over-represented 63 times over the other 11 leading countries of students origin. Tushita offers 10-day silent retreats, short courses and drop-in meditations.
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.
A wolf spider in one’s room can be a challenging experience, but between my Hindu landlady and Tushita Buddhist Center I got a mini enlightenment on how to tackle it.
As American doomsday preppers prepare for the apocalypse or the mega-tzunami, Israelis put their trust in the Mamad, or protected space. As to the “rest of the world”…
