I am in a new city, I moved. Moreover, that changes a lot in my
life that is quieter in the present. I wanted to let you know that there is
more peace here. At the same time, I feel charged with ideas and energy for
future action. This peace also allows gathering energy. My friends know how
much I'm into what I do. Nevertheless, few are close to me, most live in
another city, or in a different continent altogether. I visited England, Italy,
and Turkey recently, and these had been interesting to me. I am interested in
other countries. When I visit Europe, I find the culture there fascinating, and
Turkey had renewing energies and me resting. I read a lot, every day. In
addition, I find myself reading more then I write, that is an ideal to some. I
learn from reading. But also I find it a pleasant time of contemplation, and a
way to enrich my inner world. Even though the world around us is full of people
who fill empty, I fill full. That is in assistance from the books I read which
give me a pleasant time. Sometimes I take challenges and read a new kind of book,
which widens my horizons and enriches me more. When I find myself, alone I find
time to contemplate and think again about the things I am thinking about. My
library is big, that way I can get to many of my favorite books at any time. My
friends write with me over the internet, that gives me a sense of how they are
and what they are doing, sometimes I lecture on YouTube. I try and update all
of you over the internet every time I publish something. My statistics give me
a sense of how many of you are with me at a given time. In addition, once in
every time, I meet a new friend. My friend the writer Hadass Mizrahi writes me
every day, we are updating each other daily. She is writing and planning her
publications. I like her very much. By now, she published two books; one is a
prose book, the other poetry. She writes about me every time and publishes, she
gives me different names and under characters she invents. Life is complicated,
but the quiet atmosphere is very rewarding. If I had to mention one characteristics
of the present time, it would be quietness. Life is stormy here in Israel; there
is action in the news every time. The Academies are in a break, and there are
not enough book lovers around me here in my new living area. At the same time,
I feel blessed to be in such a calm environment. People here are Happier than
in Tel Aviv and more welcoming. I have plenty of things to think about, and
there is the right serene environment to do so. I have read today in the
Bahagvad Gita, it is a very wise Indian ancient writing that has influenced
Many wise people. We are in an age when we have a lot of wisdom at hand and we
can learn from it. Never give up reading and writing, these are necessary in
our lives.
