ISIS and Jesus
The Middle East gave birth to both these iconic figures. Looking at them from the perspective of a Native Bronx Shaman, one is a force of chaos and one embodies all chaos turning into sanity. When I first heard of Continue Reading …
Ataturk
Ataturk Airport in Istanbul was quiet as my wheelchair raced to catch the next flight. No time was left for me to go shopping in their splendored shops. At that speed, I captured the feel of the persons on line, Continue Reading …
Elmer Gantry God
Key ’73 was the Christian Revivalist Fishing to Save Souls Movement that caught me. I was not at all interested in becoming a Christian. In fact, I saw Christianity as “Elmer Gantry“ism. To me, as a stanch feminist, it was Continue Reading …
