It does seem to me that all the illness we see in the world are but symptoms of the spiritual disease of disunity, which Baha'u'llah gave us the remedy for. Painful times... and yet exciting with the prospect of building a better world! C Wendi,

But consider. An indicator that a famine is approaching is when settled agrarian people become nomadic. At that point there is no famine, nothing to see. Yet the famine is coming. If action is not taken, it will be devastating. An indicator that the persecution of the Bahá’ís is escalating towards devastation is when children are denied education, when senior Baha’is are detained.

I see this also a Wake Up Call
One which opens up a Door too Long Closed
The Entrance to The Debating Hall

More Power to Your Pen Sweet Wendy

Over the years of my travelling I've learned how easy (and freeing) it is to "travel light" - how little of this world's "trappings" we need on our journeys. I look forward to hearing more from you.

And I have only one suggestion. I have purchased a personal-care sectioned bag that fits inside my suitcase. This bag is permanently packed with items such as shampoo, extra contact lenses, hairbrush, nail care, first aid and many other items on your list. At the end of a trip I check the supply levels and refill bottles and put the bag away until next trip. At that time I have to pack only the one item, the bag itself, already packed with everything I need. It took me a while before convincing myself it was okay to have two of everything - one for home and one for the bag. This is one of my better decisions. Not only do I not have to pack, unpack and repack, I don't have to worry that I've left something out. As I am a photographer, I do the same with my photo gear and laptop and gear. The gear is all packed with extra batteries, connecting cords, etc. I just have to slip the laptop [or camera] into the backpack when I leave. What a great packing list!
