  1. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and
    entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the
    head. The issue is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy I came across this in my hunt for something regarding this.

  8. Shakti,
    Thank you for you pleasant Comment on wingedbeauty.com. You piqued my curiosity…about the butterflies of … Jordan? May I suggest that my experience has taught that in most sunny, hot climes, butterflies fly very early in the morning, from as early as 6:30 AM to 10 AM…and then reappear from 6 until sunset. A vacationer hiking about might see few or no butterflies between 11 AM and 5 PM. FYI for the future.

  28. For me the most fascinating and rewarding aspect of blogging has been the ability to meet people from varied backgrounds and from all over the world. I love discovering that despite our many differences and cultural disconnects, when we strip away the outer skin,we find another loyal, beating heart just like our own. We are not so different after all. Would that global politics could also figure this out! Thanks for stopping by my site and leaving a little “DNA.” 😉

    1. Thank you for this very encouraging and insightful comment. What I hear from you are two aspects:

      1) Stripped below the outer layer, all of us are same.
      2) It is political compulsions that keep us separate.

      So as we think of these two aspects, what could we do going forward?

      1. What you are asking, I believe, is how do we move beyond concept and into reality.I wish I knew. I believe travel is a good way to open minds and learn from each other. But I’ve known people who travel and come home just as closed-minded as they left.
        Blogging is like traveling without ever leaving your armchair. But there again, people tend to look for others who share their approach to life, therefore not taking advantage of the things to be learned about other approaches.
        I’m actually a bit guilty of that myself.

  36. Thank you for your visit to my site. My father was an engineer. You can read about him under the categories of “Family” and “The Space Industry”. He was my Renaissance man, understanding science, knowing several languages and mingling among folks of many cultures. Your posts have a familiar ring to them reminding me of conversations with him.

    Thank you for your recent comment on my blog post about random thoughts. It led me to your interesting blog, which I am now following.

    When I started blogging, I never dreamed that I would meet so many interesting people from around the world. I especially love your posts because they show me places that I probably would not have a chance to visit otherwise.

    I look forward to reading more of your posts!

    Like that your interests go as far as business. I like some aspects of it, but not into it as much as to be actively involved, like I am in Medicine, Law, Psychology, Arts, Chess, etc.
    Nice meeting you, separated in reality by several kilometres and hours. *smile*

      As we shift awy from the mindfullness and clutter of thoughts. perceptions, attachments and fears, we shift into being mindful of the “here and now”, the beauty around and inside. That indeed can be a transformative step for us.

      God bless.

  68. Hi Shakti, I don’t know how it was that I missed that you have a blog. This morning I was looking at the wordpress stats instead of the dashboard stats, saw that I had not followed you. I want you to know that I didn’t realize you even had a blog. I’m sorry to know that such time has passed since you were so encouraging to me when I haven’t even checked on what you may be doing. Please forgive the delay.

    This looks like a blog I will greatly admire, and I can’t thank you enough for your commenting on my own. Comments are great rewards.

    I was planning one day soon to find out more about Oman as I told you I would. All I’ve ever known is that it’s next to Yemen. I can see the two of them sitting side by side, but I can’t even tell you the country above unless I’m having a really good day.
