The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

"We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams; -
World-losers and world-forsakers,
on whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world for ever, it seems."
-- Arthur O'Shaughnessy

When your clothes are very wrinkled it is nice to have a sense of ironing.

Hi goodmorphing! I'm back temporarily. My wife's only nephew is being Bar Mitzvah'ed and there was no way her sister was letting us get away with not coming.

So we're back in town for a short time.
Staying at the old house, which my sister now lives in and looks after until I get over this wanderlust I've been experiencing.

The experience so far has been great. Despite all the dire warnings from family members we have found it relatively easy. We live and work on a kibbutz in the northern part of the country near the Sea of Galilee. [Known as Yam(Lake)Kinneret to the Israelis].It is a beautiful area, filled with so much history I cannot even begin to tell all.

Often, when I am out walking, I am struck with the profound notion of just who it was, only a couple of millenium ago, that walked these same ancient paths and walkways. It can be humbling.

I could go on, but this thread is not the place for a 100 page story of my adventures.

In keeping with the thread I'll finish with this little quote:

Socrates and Jesus, two teachers of virtue and love, were executed because of the unsettling, threatening power of their souls, which was revealed in their personal lives and in their words. They did not carry guns, yet still they were a threat, because there is nothing more powerful than the revelation of one's own soul.

--Thomas Moore
