You  (to my friend) wrote about seeing Paris and that forever after, it is always with you as a “moveable feast”. It has been a while since I read that passage but I have never forgotten it. I have been to Paris and to London,Rome, Moscow and the Volgo River, and the thing that stands out about the lot of them all as a group is that they are “moveable feasts”. They all are. At any moment, I can close my eyes, and see the beautiful, the ugly, the interesting, the boring, the trains, the planes, the experience.

If I never do anything else ever again, I will always have my own “moveable feast”. Thank you for reminding me.

Shalom,  Abbey Reads a Lot

‘…INBEAT GLOBAL MOVEMENT…’
THANKS AND WELCOME TO INTERNATIONAL BEAT ( ‘…INBEAT…’ ) !!!
( www.myspace.com/1inbeat1 )
+ ‘…When people are dancing and dining together, they are not fighting against each other…’
Think of ‘…INBEAT…’(International Beat) (www.myspace.com/1inbeat1) as being a Global Community that belongs to all of its Members… Just like an Internet based United Nations. It will be used as a mechanism for addressing some of the present and future Global Challenges through the timely introduction of ‘Precisioned Initiatives’ that the Community can execute. Because of the ‘precisioned’ attributes of the ‘Envisioned Initiatives’, they would invariably be less costly and more effective than prevailing “programs”. Why, you may ask? : Simply because the Initiatives will be coming from their ‘…Source Of Origin…’.
A Number of Initiatives have been started that people could work on collectively. One of them was espoused by Ms. Jah Jah ( www.myspace.com/mcjahjah ) in 2008. She suggested doing a Community Album of Songs on saving trees. This has since given impetus for the start of the INBEAT GLOBAL SONGS INITIATIVE ( www.myspace.com/inbeatsongs ), which serves as a one-stop-shop for Songs’ Writing/Music Production. One caveat though: Songs that debase women and ethnicities shall not be tolerated within ‘…INBEAT…’(International Beat). In this regard, people should check out Ms. Meru’s ( www.myspace.com/merumatu ) song “…Don’t Talk About Mi Mama…”, which is cautionary. Other ‘…Initiatives…’ include, but not limited to, Hemispheric Health and Wellness( www.myspace.com/inbeathealth ), Travel and Lodging(work in progress), INBEAT Global Cookbook ( www.myspace.com/inbeatcookbooks ), INBEAT Global Poetry Initiative(
www.myspace.com/inbeatpoetry
), and The INBEAT Global Life Journey Book Initiative(www.myspace.com/inbeatlife), and The INBEAT Help-Line Initiative for INBEAT Members ( www.myspace.com/inbeathelp ). People are encouraged to check these INBEAT Communities. Just about all the Communities have income-earning mechanisms/empowerment for Members. Furthermore, voice has been given to the ‘…INBEAT GLOBAL MOVEMENT…’ by way of the INBEAT BLOGTALK RADIO ( http://www.blogtalkradio.com/INTERNATIONAL-BEAT- ) that was set up through the dedicated efforts of Ms. Kat Solomon(inbeatpoetry@myspce.com).
In effect, the INBEAT Communities are taking a departure from the typical social networks’ agenda that leave a lot to be desired in some cases. The Communities aspire to actually accomplish concrete objectives with its Membership.
Let me introduce myself:

This was Lenin’s childhood home that had been turned into a musuem at the time i was there. I sat down at the piano. I don’t know what made me do it, there was no one around, and I thought I was alone in the house, and began to play the first few bars to Rachmaninov. To my surprise, the housekeeper, who had slipped in behind me, clapped her hands over her mouth in surprise (I thought she was going to kick me out!) and said “Oh my, that was his favorite song, please do keep playing.” Was I ever glad I had kept practicing.

Herre is the “shed” that was down a walkway with strawberry beds on both sides of the walk. Oh, by the way, at the time of the year, strawberries are everywhere and delicious.

At one time in my life, I was lucky enough to make a very long trip that was a thousand mile inland from Moscow, Russia. It took us a night and a day on a military train to get from Moscow to this beautiful little Paris of Russia. Some day I will tell the story of what happened there, but for now, I will show you photos. This is the still in use electric trambus. Notice the electric wires above the bus. In Russian, it was called the auftobus.
