Israel at Peace

Israel at Peace

In 2018 I walked on part of the Israel National Trail, known as the Schwill, which starts in the Negev Desert and ends on the northern border with Lebanon. I join a group called Walk about love, intended to encourage Jews and Arabs. Israelis and Palestinians to walk together. I had a beautiful experience of interaction with the land of the Bible and the people of Israel. This is how Israel was meant to be.  Please listen and enjoy the poetry and music of Israel at Peace. Photos and more poetry are in my book "Walking on the Israel National Trail - Spring 2018" published on Blurb.com.  The next episode (4) will continue my walk.

FIND JOY

At this time, with war and destruction around the globe and innocent human beings dying pointlessly, what can I do?  The best thing I can do for my and your sanity, is to focus on gratitude and what brings us joy, our common humanity and the consciousness in everyone and everything.  No excuses this is about the spirit!

Riding The Waves

I just completed a 6 day kayaking expedition with a small group into 10,000 islands in SW Florida.  Even though I have done a lot of river kayaking, this was my first experience of having to carry all our food, water and equipment across open water in rough seas and windy conditions. we learned how to pack the kayaks: A for Access, B for Balance and C for Compression.   I hope these poems give you an idea what this trip was like.

A FRESH LOOK

I picked up my journals of 2017 and 2020 and I found some poems that really resonate with me today. Just a brief explanation I have been following a path of yoga called Siddha Yoga with our teacher Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, for many years. And on January 1st each year she gives us a message, "A SWEET SURPRISE", something to think about for the year and that is how this episode will begin. The poems of 2020 reflect a fresh view of the world that was sparked by the New Year's message.  2017 was clearly a more challenging time, similar to 2025. Support the show [http://www.prasad.org]
