Waking by the Sea

Someone asked me to explain my reference to waking up naked on a Tel Aviv Beach:
. . . A theme of the Blog is "Time Travel" - a reference to a movie now in the theatres called "The Time Traveller's Wife" - a story about a man who - because of a genetic flaw - finds himself transported through space and time - appearing without any clothes. Often he is chased - beaten up - or thrown in jail. The other side of the story is his wife who is faces the prospect of her husband suddenly disappearing at any moment only to return at some unknown moment - so she faces stress and uncertainty. In this parallel I am called the "Time Traveller". It is quite a good movie - a metaphor for how some people are faced with the prospect of loved one's coming and going from their lives - and for the transient nature of our lives in every age.

And now we return to the day's Blog . . . .

Microns to Meters. Such is the range of size of plastic floating in the Sea and washing upon the beach. How, exactly, can anything which eats or breathes in the sea survive? . . . unless life has learned to eat and breath plastic?



In a land with a history of super heroes - the children in this new land learn of history through video games like this one.



The beaches of Tel Aviv are alive with a new young Skywalkers.



The brief architectural history of Tel Aviv is being protected and turned into something new - adding depth to this dynamic and emerging City.



Hare Krishna Sand-Dancers were leading an aerobic exercise session at sunset by the Beach today.



And then the sun was set and I watched a movie in the Holy land about Zeus, Titans and thunderbolts.
