when i talk about music, im not talking about the music that people listen to just for the enjoyment but im talking about the music that connects it to our deepest emotions/feelings and allow it to come alive.  My favorite thing about music is the instruments, how it teaches you to be delicate but firm, so sound can be made, simultaneously. How i get really into playing the sound where my body moves with the rhythm. How a simple material can make such beautiful sounds. And in the orchestra, how different instruments come together to create a flowing symphony.  Another favorite is the human voice. A tiny machinary in your larynx that can produce such beautiful sound with just some practice. Us humans, people who destroy our earth and can cause madness, can still produce such beauty in the world.  Classical music is one of my favorites. i used to play the violin in the symphony for many years and enjoyed the particular sound of the classical music. ive notoced that each gen...

Landing in Africa was quite a shock, never thought I'd have this once in a lifetime opportunity to set my feet in the world of Africa. I was there to volunteer for a month to do conversational work, bonding with the animals, observing their animals and much other activities.  It was night and other volunteers and I were driving to the lodge where the volunteers stay and the first animal i saw was a Giraffe. He was there just eating and walking by, as I have observed my time in Africa, they are very curious animals and look at you with deep dark eyes wondering what kind of creature you are to them. We arrived at the lodge and went to bed right away due to the long flight that we had to take (Dublin - Dubai (7 hours) then Dubai - Harare (7 hours) plus a 2 hour drive).   The next early morning we all had to wake up at 6 and be ready by 6:30, starting from that time we do work with animals whereas we bond with them, teach them new tricks and walk with them back to the...

A popular berry during summertime, deep purple black currants (sometimes called blackcurrants) offer a wealth of nutrients not found anywhere else. The plump little black currant can be puckeringly sour however, so it's one fruit that usually requires some type of added sweetness, such as honey or stevia, for eating as is or for baking. Black currant sauce can make a delicious savory sauce for serving with lamb, turkey, or fish. Native to central and northern Europe and Siberia, and found in Britain for over 500 years, the small shrub bearing this fruit is similar to those bearing translucent, white, and red varieties, but while they're sweeter, they offer fewer vitamins and minerals. Chinese and European folk medicine both claim dozens of traditional uses for black currants as a curative. Growing your own black currant bushes requires a few tricks. First of all, they require winter temperatures as low as zero degrees centigrade. Choose a sunny location and add compo...
