May 5, 2011 Bake Off

On this bake off Thursday, first day back for this author, many of you wished me welcome back and had questions about our Israeli and Turkish trip. I described some of the sites that we saw briefly in Turkey. I found the people friendly and of mixed degree of religious devotion. I thought the women were sometimes a little mixed up covering their head devoutly with scarf and headress, but wearing lots of makeup on the face, and tight clinging obviously provocative clothing. Sky asked if we saw Rumi's grave. Indeed we did see some of the places sacred for Rumi. He commente that he could combine a program of my slides with Rumi poems at some juncture. I would be willing to do that.


Sharleen brought a poem entitled:  Philosophy of life by Gandhi.

Keep your thoughts Positive
because your thoughts become your words.

Keep your words Positive
because your words become your actions

Keep your actions Positive
because your actions become your habits.

Keep your habits Positive
because your habits become your values

Keep your values Positive
because your values become your destiny

Then Heidi again provided some humor and soulfulness for Mother's Day by reading the Dr. Seuss book, Horton Hatches an Egg. Here is a YouTube video of Michelle Obama reading the book on Easter. It is a pleasant listen.
