CAMPING FOREVER
One of the most potent passions people have is the urge to go outdoors and somehow connect with the spirit of our forefathers that used to live among nature. For those it works, it works really well. Certainly, it has a therapeutic effect and can get out the feeling of being canned between four walls. All great things aside, there is one big problem with going out camping or hiking: the scarcity of food!

Everything that Glitters is not Gold
“Noooo!” Danielle groaned into her pillow as sister ruthlessly tried to pry it off her head. “Let’s go, lazyhead” Karyn mummified Danielle into her sheet and tossed her over the edge of the bed into an unnatural heap on the floor.

Campers Beware
Jemma Watts and Caroline McClean pulled into their campsite, overjoyed to have arrived. It was later than they'd expected so they hurriedly busied themselves setting up their tent and adding a tarp to cover the picnic table. As soon as they were finished, they lit a campfire to heat up some chilli and make coffee. A beautiful sunset glowed through the trees, an enchanting beginning to their long-awaited camping trip.

Yoram's Socks
Yoram’s Socks Yoram's Palace was a towering two story Gazebo-like building in the Ganhasos, the Horse Garden, one of countless distinctive gardens situated nearly everywhere in Jerusalem. Since the building was not a gazebo, it could only have been a palace, Yoram’s Palace. It was constructed of thunderous wooden beams and posts with doorways on each of its six sides leading into the divine, irresistible center, where you could look straight up and see the sparkling stars at night, or the clearest crystalline blue skies of Jerusalem, all day long. Staring through the top of the hexagonal hole in its crown from the main floor, or looking up from the inside of the covered balcony, accessible by a footbridge, all six senses of every visitor were stimulated and inspired by the dazzling hues and tones of playful sunlight which shone through the multicolored antique windows, the walls of Yoram’s armon; windows to the soul of the deceased activist artist named Yoram Amir, may he live forever. He had fearlessly collected them all, windows from around the world in ornate or simple frames with colored glass or all colors; they were the sort of windows one sees in a mosque or a typical middle eastern home, each hand picked and preserved for over twenty years as he prepared to make his vision a reality. Once he began to learn about the very special and well loved Israeli artist, it became impossible to ignore the influence that Yoram had on his life. Yoram was everything, he was the reason for all that Susu experienced in Israel, Yoram Amir was nothing short of the genius who crafted Susu and it eventually became patently obvious to all that the purpose that Susu eventually shone brightly with was the result of having been led to the palace by Yoram. It occurred to Susu early on that his experiences in Israel were nothing short of extraordinary; if he did not have the sense to honor Yoram and the others involved in his journey, all that he had suffered and risked might have been for nothing, the beauty that Israel had revealed to him had to be measured carefully against the hardships and because everything began with Yoram, Susu was careful to honor his memory and to continue to craft himself in a manner that he was certain Yoram would be pleased about. It was also clear to Susu by the time he left Israel that nothing he had experienced had merely been the result of traveling. Instead, his experiences had been a connected series of Mitzvahs, although Susu was not Jewish and apart from the respect and admiration that Susu would show to Yoram, he gained a deeper understanding of his relationship with what others often call God, though for Susu acknowledging the universality of things and God were identical roads to peace.

An astonishing excursion
An astonishing excursion By Sheyla Laplante Shellie, thirty years old French Canadian woman studying business online and working part-time as a server in a local pub, originally from Quebec, and resident of British Columbia for the past ten years, knew the area well and loved to explore it. After hearing of this wonderful place called Bannock point she decided to go check it out one day. On her birthday, at the end of June, she decided to take some alone time in the forest. After a two-hour drive from Castlegar, Shellie made it to the parking lot, excited to go unwind, she hiked down to the beach. On her way down, she noticed something uncommon, a gigantic feathery heart, approximately thirty feet away from the trail suspended between the pine trees. She decided to go take a closer look at this unusual flying object. She discovered on the back of the heart a note saying “If you need me you will find me, I may seem forgotten and without value, but you should know better than to judge a book by its cover.” After reading this intriguing note, she finds her way back to the trail and continues descending towards the water.
