Iran, Posted By A Blogger

Tomorrow is Saturday. Tomorrow is a day of destiny.

Tonight, the cries of Allah-o Akbar are heard louder and louder than the nights before.

Where is this place? Where is this place where every door is closed? Where is this place where people are simply calling God? Where is this place where the sound of Allah-o Akbar gets louder and louder?

I wait every night to see if the sounds will get louder and whether the number increases. It shakes me. I wonder if God is shaken.

Where is this place that where so many innocent people are entrapped? Where is this place where no one comes to our aid? Where is this place that only with our silence we are sending our voices to the world? Where is this place that the young shed blood and then people go and pray -- standing on that same blood and pray. Where is this place where the citizens are called vagrants?

Where is this place? You want me to tell you? This place is Iran. The homeland of you and me.
This place is Iran.

Our Trip To Dunedin

Isabella and I just came back from a trip to Florida.
We drove from the east coast of Florida to the west coast. Its a 4 hour drive without stopping from mom's house in West Palm Beach. W e checked out a school and a synagogue, and decided for fall a Waldorf school in Dunedin. Dunedin is a quaint small town by the Gulf, not far from the Gulf, with a park going through the town, a sweet down town , which ends up at the Marina.
We took some neat strolls into town, and found Ospry nests, and mama Osprey. Then we took a boat ride in Tarpon Springs, known for their Greek population, excellen, authentic Greek food, and fishing and diving. It was my first time in the Gulf of Mexico, the waters were calm, warm, filled with shells, and many birds every where.

Awareness of the fact that you are on a journey at all times also infuses each step with profound hope and urgency – to ensure that it will lead us to a destination. by Simon Jacobson
