Gossiping eyes

Gossiping eyes cloud sensory lane. 

Dealers of heart now in concealed state,

Bottomless sink with a drowning threat .

Lead me blue and lead me black,

Stream me through and stream me back.

Hide me out and hide me in,

Reap the beauty to spill my chin.

I was so impressed with the amazing work that Tarek is doing to bring people from diverse backgrounds together through his film and site. Coming up in  September is Take The Pledge  found on the site. I encourage everyone interested to go to the site, see the movie and do what you can to help the world to heal and to make a difference.

Also on the show was Ruth Kozak reading poems from one of her books about Alexander the Great. Sharon Rowe of Big Bessie fame had a new story and the e-poem by  Paramananda Mahanta from India read by Victor Schwartzman.

SYNOPSIS:

Free Trip to Egypt takes audiences on a remarkable journey, in which an unlikely group of travelers to the Middle East find themselves transformed by the power of human connection.  

Tarek Mounib, a Canadian-Egyptian entrepreneur living in Switzerland, is troubled by a world that seems ever more divided and polarized. In response to increasing levels of anger and hatred towards “the other” on American social and broadcast media, he resolves to reach out to the very people who fear his culture, with an intriguing idea. 

With the aim of trying to build mutual understanding, Tarek travels across the United States in order to find Americans who feel threatened and offer them a Free Trip to Egypt.

#PLEDGETOLISTEN TO “LOOK ME IN THE EYE”
Inspired by Free Trip To Egypt, musicians Glen Philips and Jason Karaban come together for inspirational new song.
