Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learning about Mangoes, Egyptians, Arabic and Islam
ABOUT ME
a seeker for too long, and a finder for NOW, which is forever eternally grateful for all the gifts in life and all the wonderful discoveries in the course of time
I spend 6 months in Washington, DC area and 6 months in Cairo, Egypt. I find each day brings new discoveries into my life which continue to broaden and deepen my understanding of its purpose and my mission.
PHILOSOPHY
Understanding life in all its glorious and diverse manifestations, and hopeing to see in the process the presence of vital unity in this global village which is sometimes a "lonely planet". I am a people person, but see the need to put into perspective our mad materialistic ego driven passions by anchoring my heart and soul in the underlying reality of our common humanity. We need to take care of each other and strive to realize that this journey is an exciting adventure that we create together
