O - Change The World - O
Change the world...by changing your attitude.
Every day is renewal and opportunity.
Everything is for the best.
Believe it. Live it. And share it.
A smile and a positive attitude is contagious in a good way!

Israel 2020: Day 8
So awesome going to the Bahai Gardens today in Haifa, Israel.
Took the train to Haifa and then a taxi ride up this big hill.
Got out at the top and not sure what to expect.
We go through security...
And then we see this completely BREATHTAKING view of the Bahai Gardens along with an amazing view of Haifa, the port, and up and down the Mediterranean Sea.
The view Extended all the way up to the Crusader Castle in Akko.
The terraced Bahai Gardens were spectacular.
I've never seen anything like this.
We walked down the terraces some 700 stairs.
And along the way were fountains, gardens, and more beautiful landscapes and views.
This is definitely something to see (thank you Hashem for this opportunity). ;-)

Nature Boy
When I was a kid and I went to the supermarket with my mom, I remember always seeing the "Andy Boy Broccoli" in the produce aisle.
Of course, I was always curious why Broccoli was called Andy Boy--what boy or any kid for that matter likes to eat broccoli???
And like most things in life, there really wasn't a good answer except that this company, "Andy Boy" grows and distributes it.
Anyway, I was always a nature boy feeling most at home and at peace in the countryside.
I love being in nature, surrounded by G-d's amazing beauty, and at one with the universe and with G-d.
In building all our great cities, buildings, and structures, aside from the crowding, pollution, crime and traffic that we have consequently, we have also lost something elementary to our lives with the absence of real nature.
A park is not a forest. A pond is not a river. A plant is a not a lush valley. A garden is not a farm. A hill is not a mountain range. A pet is not a teeming ecosystem of diverse life.
The city is man made and fake, but nature is from G-d and real. ;-)

What I Want to Be When I Grow Up (LOL)
After all the work is said and done...
And there is still so much more that I earnestly hope and pray to accomplish with my life.
Perhaps, then, when I am all grown up, I can have some time to be a sun bum too.
Everyone deserves a little fun. ;-)

Where Are We Going
To me, it begs the question of where are we going in our lives.
The terrestrial landscape combined with the light at the end of the tunnel effect as the sky is provocative and at the same time almost hypnotic.
It also makes me feel the enormity of the universe versus the smallness of just a man.
I see myself standing on the red hilltop looking into that big sky and wondering about so many things.
In the end, believing that we don't have all the answers, but that we are in G-d's good hands. ;-)

Panorama: Ocean and Beach
Thought this was pretty cool...
Panorama of Ocean and Beach.
Made it look the the ocean is in between the beach.
Love the "special effect."
Feels a little like Moshes who led the Israelites through the (Red) Sea.
Anyway, nice to get away a little and see life through a different lens. ;-)
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach!
