In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”

by David Sparenberg

2016-09-17

There is light.  We are in the light.  And we are of the light.

 

Beyond the light is darkness.  We are in the darkness; we are of the dark.

As light moves, so too moves dark.

 

Beyond darkness there is…

A happy marriage is a marriage with an interior ministry and a foreign affairs ministry. I just made that up.

If you go on a date and meet a potential mate, you probably want to figure out how often the person is using the pronoun “you.” When I was in my twenties, the main mistake I did was to look at how ambitious the potential mates were by listening to them talk about…

Russian chocolate

by Valerie Sartor

2016-08-27

Russian chocolate has become a minor addiction for me. I eat chocolate every day, sometimes several times a day. At home in the US I avoid sweets. The reason I eat chocolate here as opposed to at home in the US has to do with packaging.

Here are Stations

Here are Stations

 

Here are not stations of the cross.  Here is not a pilgrimage to Mecca, or prayer before the Western Wall.

Here are the stations of my soul.  A kiss of breeze; a clasp of thunder.  Sometimes a…

I do not embrace austerity (self-chosen austerity) merely for the sake of austerity.  I do not advocate inconvenience because inconvenience is a virtue in itself.…

Which coup has lost in Turkey?

by Thanos Kalamidas

2016-07-17

I don’t think democracy ever faced such an irony as a few days ago in Turkey. A man who rules violating basic democratic rules and constantly discriminates freedom of speech was saved from a military coup that tried to overthrow him by the reaction of the people and the…

I publish a exquisite text by David Sparenberg, who is also a member of Peace for the Soul.

Through all of suffering (and life is long and often hard), the brave stand strong. Before the beauty that soars beyond the limitations of time and circumstances, tears are copious and exceed control.



One hears a song, sees a smile,…

"Like most women, my youth was dedicated to raising a family. While music was always my solace, I was unable to make it a priority. Life has dealt me with many blows, each worse than the other. When my husband passed away, my beloved daughter encouraged me to pursue my passion. But soon, I lost her too. To get over the grief, I started to pursue music more…
