Profile Information
- About Me/Us:
- I like photography, poetry, history, learning, all kinds of creativity. I always try to be a friend to those who feel unwanted. There are many of them in our society. I am inspired by those who bring hope into the world. I can often be found wandering the streets of Philly or New York, but I'm not lost. I'm searching. Searching for a photo to take, inspiration for a poem, or maybe for a history article to write, or maybe just to find a stranger who I can bring a smile to. I love to explore many cultures. Maybe that's because I come from a very international family. Or maybe I'm just curious. I hope that, in the end, my life will have made some good impact on the world, and that I might be able to make someone elses life a little better durring my time here on this twirling ball we call earth as it hurdles through the cosmos.

The following quotes were all posts I came across on Facebook. They were all posted as rockets and bombs were falling in Palestine and Israel. I put them all together so that all who want peace will know YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
"Dear friends, I dont know how to start to write what i want to say. maybe the first words should be: I am human, I am Israeli. In that order. When Rockets and bombs are in Gaza, and in Israel- arriving to tel aviv as well for the first time from Gaza,…

Yesterday I went to New York to hang out with a friend of mine, but as soon as I got into town, I received a text saying she had to work overtime and would not be able to make it. So I did something I often do. I went to a bookstore. I left the bookstore with a massive book filled with the works of Kahlil Gibran. I walked across Lower Manhattan then over the Brooklyn Bridge with the book in my hand. When I got to the Brooklyn end of the bridge, I thought I should go to my favorite restaurant…

There is a tiny park in Lower Manhattan, on Mulberry Street, in Chinatown, where a small sign hangs on a fence dedicated to the memory of a man named Jacob Riis. Who was Jacob Riis? For a time in the late 1800's, he was a homeless man who lived in New York, who had been chased away, by the cops, out of every place he could find to sleep, accept a certain grave in a forgotten corner of a local cemetery. And his only friend was a stray dog who used to sleep on the same grave at night. His only…
