Since my feet are now fast and point away from the past, I'll bid farewell and be down the line (Bob Dylan)

Wie geht's?

This week we welcome the return of: some more outstanding photos from the past.

I opened Bob Dylan's Writings And Drawings book at random and lo and behold - Restless Farewell! So...

This time we've gone back 8 years to a time of comings and goings.

Al Ain was the scene for the farewells as I said goodbye to the special people at Ali bin Abi Taleb School...

...and Otane was the scene of celebrations around Jacky's 50th! Jesse and Samantha did a surprise flight back from San Francisco to join the birthday girl, Jade, me, and the O'Neills.

Love and peace - Wozza

A folly

The Master says:

Write. Whether it's a letter or a diary or a few jottings as you talk on the phone, just write. Writing brings us closer to God and to our fellow humans. If you want to have a better understanding of your role in the world, write. Try to put your whole soul into writing, even if no one else will ever read it or, worse, even if someone does end up reading something you didn't want them to read. The mere fact of writing helps us to organise our thoughts and to see the world around us more clearly. A piece of paper and a pen can perform miracles - assuage sorrows, make dreams reality, take away and restore lost hopes. The word is power. Paulo Coelho
