Catch me a catch

Look through your books

Just two weeks before the budget, a silver haired lady looked up from her writing as her economist husband approached her somewhere in the capital, “What are you writing this time?” he asked.

“Giving the finishing touches to my new work!” she said.

“A man's rootage is more important than his leafage." President Woodrow Wilson.

What people see are your leaves, the outside, your looks, your personality, your social skills, but what they can't see are your roots; values and principles that ground you.

Many friends send me pictures of them floating on the Dead Sea! But the Dead Sea is dying! The Dead Sea's water level is declining by more than a metre a year, and its surface area has shrunk by around a third since the 1960s. The Dead Sea  is really a lake, not a sea. It’s so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. You can almost lie down and read a book! The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as 35% - almost 10 times the normal ocean water. And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea. No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. Nothing lives in the Dead Sea.
