Movements in the World and in the Mind
After a joyous couple of months, during which I was captured by surf and Sri Lankan chill, I had the warmest of receptions in Lowlands Country by both my dear friends Rick and Louis and the weather. Having spent last summer in Central America, experiencing long summer days with sunsets after 10 pm, which used... Continue Reading →
After my Latin American adventure, I returned to Europe, where I got a warm reception, as always, from my dear friends Rick and Louis and a cold reception from the weather. The weather was manageable, as I connected with family and friends and planned to go to Southern Africa within the next couple of weeks... Continue Reading →
A week ago it was Independence Day in El Urdun, or Jordan in transliterated Arabic. This year 2016 is extra special as this month it will be exactly 100 years after the beginning of the so-called Arab Revolt.

After a highly exciting Arab Spring in which the West came to the conclusion that Arabs are just like 'normal' people wishing to live in a free and democratic system, things have turned rather sour. Syria has fallen into an abyss of severe violence and Egypt's freely elected president Morsi, in first instants given the... Continue Reading →
Muslim wrath has reared it's rather ugly head yet again on a global scale this week due to a short film made in California demeaning the prophet Mohammed and the religion of Islam. US embassies across the globe have been attacked costing the lives of a US ambassador and other staff. The wave of anger... Continue Reading →
