A visit to my Homeland – Zanzibar
A visit to my Homeland – Zanzibar
… and a Meditation on ABUNDANCE (Part 2)
By Bhadra Vadgama.
We spent a day visiting Jozani Forest, a place I had never visited before.

of
Balcony Over Jerusalem: A Middle East Memoir - Israel, Palestine and Beyond:
"Five stars because most have not been to Israel and to understand another culture its best to immerse yourself in it. Lyons, author/journalist, did this for six years. He sometimes becomes the story due to the attacks on him by the Jewish lobby in Au"

“The trouble was, Elizabeth thought, they did not tell the children of colonial families not to love these foreign lands, not to fall in love with their birthplaces. While parents dreamt of retiring in peace to another place called ‘home’, their children soaked up knowledge of the only world they knew: its different peoples, its spicy food, its birdsong, the way warm rain fell like a curtain through the palm trees. Their souls would be forever torn.”

“The continent is too large to describe. It is a veritable ocean, a separate planet, a varied, immensely rich cosmos. Only with the greatest simplification, for the sake of convenience, can we say 'Africa'. In reality, except as a geographical appellation, Africa does not exist.”
