"Only I can hear it" Thinking-thoughts.They scream inside my ears: "That was a dumb thing to say!""You are such a clutz.""You shouldn't, aughta not, don't do it!" Reading to your self – I hear the story in my head. "Oh Yes!""Beautiful job.""I love you.""I did it, I really did it!" All of it - inside my head,as loud and real as the noise in my ears when chewing celery.

The Bahá'í Faith's progressive approach tohuman society originates with Bahá'u'lláh'semphasis on unity.

This is a photo of the Shrine of the Bab in Haifa, Israel. We have visited there several times and it is truly the most magnificant spot in the world! Haifa and Akka are the locations of the most holy places for the Baha'is. The teachings of Baha'u'llah are what we need most. If "the Earth is but one country and mankind its citizens" resounds in your heart, look it up at http://www.bahai.org/,

Our son, Nabil, is doing his masters research on the human-elephant conflict and reptiles. Here he is with a 'people-raised' African elephant in Tanzania. I think he is having a good time!

What happens to all of that inspiriation you have in the deep, dark night?Where is the energy and planning that you have while under the covers?Do organizational skills and initiative dim when the lights go on?How can I harness that optimism and energy that come after a deep sleep Saturday night?Can I bottle it up for Monday morning?Can I preserve it in a jelly jar for use on Thursday afternoons
