WORKING! A heavy translation! NO TIME TO WRITE! Perhaps next week I can tell a few stories. I have had a nice visitor in my lounge: a monkey delighted with some sweets, looking at me and not affraid at all! I feel sorry for the guys!
Also, went yesterday to an interesting inter-faith talk, the speaker was a turkish muslim. It was wonderful what he said about Dialogue... it starts with dialogue with oneself... and you must apply 'hosgoru' , no easy translation in English, but it basically means, 'looking at the other under a good light!' Food for thought! As to Islam... not at all what you see in the newspapers and he showed an interesting piece on the Virgin Mary and Jesus...in the'Book'..., the Quran.

Quick update!
The synchronicity we can experience is amazing! Carol Watkinson is kindly finishing the ppt she offered me (her idea and labour of love, as she calls it! Praise God for generous souls!)
It will accompany my presenttion of the intervention I did in Lisbon ( with some addititions). And guess what? I had forgotten two important events. How did I remember them? I received an email sent to me in 2013, about reporting the news of the meeting in april 2013, between Literary Tourism students and Portuguese writers. How did it come back after nearly a year, and appeared on my screen 'I don't know!'...only God knows! But because of that I remembered two events that I should have included in the ppt,, which was that meeting and also the President of Portugal's invitation to his reception in Pretoria in July 2012, when I went with my son Mario Manuel! What do you say?
Lots more to come, but I am very busy at present with some urgent translations!... Besides the odd migraine!
Love to you all, kind readers and friends!
