Hi folks, thanks for yesterday’s warm welcome back. We had taken some weeks of, and did we need it! So now we are back from warm Tunesia to freaking cold Germany. Glad to have been there, glad to be home too. :-)

Hi Yaakov, traveling around, eating way too much, riding some Dromedars, and, much to our pleasant surprise, finding out that Muslims and Jews in fact can live (more or less) peacefully together. On Djerba there are Synagogues, a Yeshiva and lots of Jewish Goldsmiths. We asked one Muslim whether there were problems with the Jewish population and their living in a 99% Muslim country - since 570 c.a. BTW! He said: “Why? They are Tunisians!”

Postscriptum: Yep, I know about La Ghreiba 2001, even been at the place. Still the situation is pretty good (compared to other parts of the world), and shows that Islam can be a religion of peace.

I’d heard that about Iran, from an Iranian lady I knew in the 90’s before she immigrated from Germany to America. I was surprised to hear that there was a Jewish population in Iran. And no problems. The problems begin probably with Zionism. (hope I didn’t say anything controversial).

Hello, welcome back Dushan. I was introduced to this site by ‘indeterminacy’ - am most delighted to discover this quietly illuminating site! Thank you!

Welcome back!!!

Your rendering today reminds me of Ezra Pound who wtote a poem a day for a year and then burned them for discipline.

The creative well is never dry…certainly not yours!

I thought it was the other way round: It is good, that after the last one another one can be drawn.
The sadness will come when one has to be the last.
It is good that we can expect many more of you! :-)
