PS: Just now I´m on a journey through the whole of Europe
to visite a lot of friends. So pardon me if I´m not that often
visiting the internet.
shukran for the wonderful comment you left me. I enjoy reading your page and perspectives and you are most kind, introspective man with much insight. Yes the pic of the Olive tree was "planted" after Iqbal taught me of the sacredness and significance of the Olive (and all trees) in Palestine....I thought it good to plant one here for my adopted deceased brother..
love, bless & peace, Esha
Kind regards
I'm still waiting for an account number. Every I see the terrible results of the Zionist bombings of Gaza and seeing all those maimed children then my heart is breaking. I want at least help a little bit as we can't do much more.
With best regards

I like the songs. And especially that you are starting to discuss the Israel genocide in Gaza. It's important that young people enter the discussion because we "old guys" are soon "beyond the Jordan".
Ich wish you luch and all the best.

thanks for your lovely reply. I'll have a look at Tlaxcala. But I'm an idiot (still) with this page. How to add the letter to my profile? And you see I couldn't even get the foto from my profile in here to the left - oh, now I see it under "Play again". Ouff! It will take some time.
Yours sincerely
Einar
