Hello fellow Travelujah Spiritual Questers & Friends.

Although my wife and I have traveled extensively, this is my first attempt at keeping a Blog. I have Elisa Moed who is CEO of Travelujah at http://www.travelujah.com/, to thank for encouraging me to blog with this "faith-based social network providing relevant content, travel information, reservations and social networking services for people interested in the Holy Land,

Why the name Zorba? I am a fan of the Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis who wrote: "Zorba the Greek," " The Life of St Francis of Assisi ," "The last Temptation of Christ" and many other amazing books. Albert Schweitzer believed NK was one of the most Spiritual writers of the 20 th. century The english translation of the inscription on NK gravestone in Crete reads - "I need nothing, I fear nothing, I am free." I attended a 2-week workshop at the National Training Laboratories (NTL) in Bethel, Maine. in the 1980's. Part of the labs design required each participant to arrive with an assumed name. I choice the name Zorba.

The lab experience was awesome and transformational for me. Judy and I went to the Greek Island for three weeks in 1995 to celebrate our 25 th. wedding anniversary. After returning home, I rread NK biographical book "Report to Greco" and much to my surpize I discovered his Pilgrimage through Greece covered almost the exact itinerary as our anniversary trip did. Who am I, when I am not pursuing the best of the best of the Spiritual greats of History.
