The story is told in "Water
in the Wilderness" - Red-Sea - Sinai".
Here I am focusing on the vision of a Desert Hosting Economy.

In preparing this prospectus I was helped by Amnon [famous
now for his solar house] in Kfar-Vradim,
and the last sentence under his little illustration is his, not mine, though
I completely identify with it:
"The biggest pain is the pain for the suffering of another. All we can
do is to support him, not to suffer in his stead."
I did not have a camera then,
but during our "Peace-Process"
in 2002, when I asked Gadi for photos
which he - as a photographer - had made of Succah in the Desert -
I discovered an envelope with paper pictures.
I figured out, that for my last passage in Egypt
(every two weeks one had to go back to Israel then),
I had borrowed a camera from Gadi.
He had developed the photos , but never handed them over to me.
Since David is on the photos, it must have been around Yom Kippur.
2 weeks later - during Succot - the tents were already on the beach..

Since recently Ahmed Sawarka again sought contact with me,
(also in order to make me send my friends to "Bamboo-Beach",
the business, which is the only result of our common dream.
See the website of "Bambo-Beach-Camp" (
in 2014 neither the website nor the Camp exists)
I corrected this page and the 3 pages
of DESERT-WATER-VISION.
I am sad, that I did not complete the story and that there is a gap
between that first encounter with Ahmed in Wadi- at-Tauleh
and the opening of the first and only "Pyramidion" - together!
But now - 13 years later - I cannot retrieve the events of the past!
I can only hope, that the Future will prove,
that our co-creation in 1996 was a seed that will grow in its time.
That and why the time was not ripe then,
I finally understood only in January 2006,
when the aggravation of the ruined joint in my right groin told me:
"You must cease to manifest your
vision on the exterior level!
As long as those
Bedouins in the Zealots' Valley
- and they are only a microcosm of humankind -
are hating themselves and therefore each other,
any exterior success would come at a price of terrible
reversals,
just like the "successes" of the French or Communist Revolution.
You yourself must focus now on healing
yourself into wholeness
and - by extension - all of Creation, all of the Middle East.
Your experience of 19 years in the Desert and all your models
of "Peace through Desert Hosting
SPS-compatible Economy"
will be manifested in its right time - through your future peers.
"Those who sow in tears,
he that trusts

Since
1974, my peace-work [started in 1958] has been based
on:
Transforming a negative dependency into a positive dependency.
(3)
A positive dependency or PARTNERSHIP is based on 3 conditions:
COMMON INTEREST / MUTUAL TRUST / EQUALITY in SELF-ESTEEM.
(4)
After 35 years of having PRACTICALLY tested this theory ,
I know, that EQUALITY in SELF-ESTEEM can only be realized,
if the adversaries, forced into mutual dependency by destiny,
will engage in COPING TOGETHER
with a CHALLENGE
which is SO BIG , that it DWARFS the GAP in SELF-ESTEEM.
This is my favorite Sura, the one I learnt by heart while in
detention in Egypt.
[See
now in Song-Game 2007 - and listen to my singing and reciting]
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours, And by the night when it is stillest. Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee
