Three Month ago.Almost three. Wanted to see the Kite Runner, but missed it. I had to fly. Home bound and away from home. I wanted to write then. About the Kite Runner. OR rather about the need to fly. A soul fly. Wanted to blog, or to virtually do another thought fly. I procrastenated. Today is the third anniversary for this Bab Al Shams First Blog. Ironic is the thought of flying toward the

When Jane - Found in America wished her virtual Moslem friends Happy Eid, She reminded me of this beautiful spiritual temporary sanctuary near crazy Los Angeles.

When I sometimes leave the car lights on while driving during the daylight hours, I'm always amazed how the residents of Cairo suddenly become the most concerned and sweetest citizens of any grand city on the face of the earth. People really get out of their way to tell you. Your lights are on!? I always wondered why? Why they insist for telling? Is it because it does not cost them any thing?

Some years Ago when I wanted to learn more about Robert Bly, I've picked up the "Walking Swiftly" which is a tribute to Robert Bly in his 65th years Birthday.His Lifelong friends are poets, dancers, reciters, writers, Story tellers, and Drummers. I still did not finish "Walking Swiftly". Everynow & then I read a friend or two of Robert Bly (RB) talking about his walks of life. Wonderfull stuff.

I was stung by a bee on a Saturday morning. A Black & Yellow stripes bee did. Auuuoooatch. I screamed. The Story goes back to my college years when I was “converted” to be an “Environmentalists” sympathizer by an excellent Ecology teacher.
