Yoram's Socks
Yoram’s Socks Yoram's Palace was a towering two story Gazebo-like building in the Ganhasos, the Horse Garden, one of countless distinctive gardens situated nearly everywhere in Jerusalem. Since the building was not a gazebo, it could only have been a palace, Yoram’s Palace. It was constructed of thunderous wooden beams and posts with doorways on each of its six sides leading into the divine, irresistible center, where you could look straight up and see the sparkling stars at night, or the clearest crystalline blue skies of Jerusalem, all day long. Staring through the top of the hexagonal hole in its crown from the main floor, or looking up from the inside of the covered balcony, accessible by a footbridge, all six senses of every visitor were stimulated and inspired by the dazzling hues and tones of playful sunlight which shone through the multicolored antique windows, the walls of Yoram’s armon; windows to the soul of the deceased activist artist named Yoram Amir, may he live forever. He had fearlessly collected them all, windows from around the world in ornate or simple frames with colored glass or all colors; they were the sort of windows one sees in a mosque or a typical middle eastern home, each hand picked and preserved for over twenty years as he prepared to make his vision a reality. Once he began to learn about the very special and well loved Israeli artist, it became impossible to ignore the influence that Yoram had on his life. Yoram was everything, he was the reason for all that Susu experienced in Israel, Yoram Amir was nothing short of the genius who crafted Susu and it eventually became patently obvious to all that the purpose that Susu eventually shone brightly with was the result of having been led to the palace by Yoram. It occurred to Susu early on that his experiences in Israel were nothing short of extraordinary; if he did not have the sense to honor Yoram and the others involved in his journey, all that he had suffered and risked might have been for nothing, the beauty that Israel had revealed to him had to be measured carefully against the hardships and because everything began with Yoram, Susu was careful to honor his memory and to continue to craft himself in a manner that he was certain Yoram would be pleased about. It was also clear to Susu by the time he left Israel that nothing he had experienced had merely been the result of traveling. Instead, his experiences had been a connected series of Mitzvahs, although Susu was not Jewish and apart from the respect and admiration that Susu would show to Yoram, he gained a deeper understanding of his relationship with what others often call God, though for Susu acknowledging the universality of things and God were identical roads to peace.

An astonishing excursion
An astonishing excursion By Sheyla Laplante Shellie, thirty years old French Canadian woman studying business online and working part-time as a server in a local pub, originally from Quebec, and resident of British Columbia for the past ten years, knew the area well and loved to explore it. After hearing of this wonderful place called Bannock point she decided to go check it out one day. On her birthday, at the end of June, she decided to take some alone time in the forest. After a two-hour drive from Castlegar, Shellie made it to the parking lot, excited to go unwind, she hiked down to the beach. On her way down, she noticed something uncommon, a gigantic feathery heart, approximately thirty feet away from the trail suspended between the pine trees. She decided to go take a closer look at this unusual flying object. She discovered on the back of the heart a note saying “If you need me you will find me, I may seem forgotten and without value, but you should know better than to judge a book by its cover.” After reading this intriguing note, she finds her way back to the trail and continues descending towards the water.

My Experience Visiting Disney World During COVID-19
I just got back from a quick trip from Walt Disney World. FYI - my feet still hurt from all the walking ! I have visited Disney World three times prior to COVID-19. Once as an adult only trip and twice with children. I knew that there were quite a few differences due to COVID-19 but it was personally important for me to take my son for his 5th Birthday. Here are the major differences that I personally experienced.

Sink or Swim
I have always been both at home in water, and terrified of it. The terror is both a warning and a siren-song lure, though. A bona fide adrenaline junkie, the unseeable and unknown are brushed off with bravado (and maybe, according to my mother, a little delusion). To me, the prospect of jumping from a rocky cliff into a lake of unknown sapphire depth (age 10), is as appealing as wandering the city of Moscow, USSR (age 14). In my twenties and thirties, I thrilled at solo motorcycle trips with nothing but cash and a tent. Now, as I seem to rapidly nearing a half-century on this planet, I do not have to go anywhere to find adventure. I have found bliss: life in a city that is itself a dangerous water park!

Ocean breezes predicted today, tomorrow, and the day after that
You could be miserable, disgusted, and grumpy all the time on a subtropical island, but only if you tried really hard every day. It may be the reason why I don’t remember meeting many people who fit the profile as I grew up. Those who temporarily achieved such states were referred to as looking 'gribble' and seldom stayed that way long.

My Greatest Bookstore Adventure
Considering Los Angeles, CA is a concrete jungle of sorts, there is always little hidden gems to find. Having lived in California, there is so much to do and see that you would never be bored. I recently got back into reading in 2018 after my struggles with anxiety and depression began to hit new levels of highs and lows. I never seemed to be able to find a balance in life, but reading provided the opportunities of an escape into a world full of adventures and problems that were not my own.
