THE POWER OF WORDS & THE POWER OF SAYING SOMETHING

"THE SOUL FOOD CAFÉ" –A WONDERFUL WRITER’S WEB SITE

"I want to write, but more than that, I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried in my heart." – Anne Frank

This pearl is just one of many I found when I dove beneath the surface of the "Soul Food Café one of the most beautiful web sites I’ve seen. Being there, in the site, is something like being under water, looking up at the sun’s rays reflecting off the blue liquid.

There is a lot about Lemuria, the ancient civilization that is said to lie beneath the Pacific Ocean. Since my family and I are moving to California, somehow there is this draw of things having to do with the Pacific and that part of the world. I’ve lived in California before—shortly after returning from Vietnam and being discharged from the Army. It is where, while working on an anchovy boat in Santa Barbara, I first heard about Transcendental Meditation and began a spiritual journey that took me to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the knowledge of the Vedas.

I hope to find what it is that this westward draw has to offer—why it is happening.

Heather Blakey, creator of the Soul Food Café said she found my site by accident--although I don’t believe anything is purely by chance! She gave me the opportunity to write something, which appears on the site now—"A Tale of Two Trees" —about the experience of meditating under a pine tree in my yard in Connecticut and dreaming about finding a tree to meditate under in California.

I mention this so that you will pay a visit to the Soul Food Café and have the blissful experience of Lemuria—it’s really very beautiful there!
