Posted by Rudy Carrera on Friday, May 7th 2010

Posted by Rudy Carrera on Friday, May 7th 2010     

The Yiddish language, that amalgam of ancient Hebrew spicing a Teutonic soup, is not the first choice I’d have for a smouldering, sexy, romantic tongue to pleasure a love interest with.

‘Furniture’ sung by Amy Studt, music video Haunting, fragile and intense… touches me to the bone! Makes me wonder… why we cause harm to each other, the earth and all life? Why don’t we love each other or ourselves? Will we be able to collectively move beyond these destructive patterns? I know we can! I [...]
