Going

to Nicaragua early next month to take part in an international poetry festival. I can't wait to experience South America again. Went to the Prometo festival in Columbia 1996 and it was the best week of my life:)

More later, got so much to do before i leave. Want to print some books so that i will have something to share.

Join the virtual march for peace

This Saturday, hundreds of thousands of Americans will march on Washington DC to demand peace and justice in Iraq and the Middle East. The global partnership Avaaz is working to raise a worldwide voice of solidarity through an international virtual march. Time is short, so add your voice and join the march today!

Avaaz supporters in Washington have offered to carry real banners and placards at the US demonstration—showing how many internet marchers from all round the world are joining in. We will carry the flag of each country that generates more than 500 internet marchers, so tell your friends!

As American opposition to this war mounts, Avaaz has mobilized over 45,000 people from over 100 countries to join the call to oppose Bush's military escalation and demand a real plan to end this war.

Can we get 75,000—even 100,000 people from round the world to join the march before Saturday?

This could signal the rebirth of the US peace movement. We need to show them the world is on their side. Let's bring our call for peace to the streets of power in Washington. Join the global peace march and tell your friends today!

"God has no religion."

Gandhi's famous quote. It is so true and indeed we need to remember this now more than ever.

We as humanity are sailing into new era. Times are changing and we are too. We need to take personal repsonisbility for our inner landscape and build tolerance and compassion towards ourself and others. The earth is sinking below the oceans surface because of our conquest over nature. It is really time to stop and think what we can do as individuals to stop this destruction or it will destruct so many fellow humans on this planet.
