Miniature Book Museum in Baku
I enjoy reading books and I would always keep copies of those that I have read. I have been collecting for many years, and so far I have accumulated around 300 books. I could say that I have already read 50% of them and would definitely re-read some of them. Also, I have got a pile of to-be-read pieces. I got most of these books at bargain prices such as from the flea markets and second-hand shops. Although some are new pieces bought from legit bookstores, and some are presents that I received from Richard during my birthdays and at Christmas. Having accumulated hundreds of books seeded the idea of building…

My first solo travel in 2022: Baku, Azerbaijan
It was in March 2022 when I traveled to Baku for a short break, which was a convenient option trip for me to take from Dubai, as having a UAE residency visa allowed me to get an Azerbaijani visa upon arrival at the airport. Baku is the capital and the largest city of Azerbaijan. The Republic of Azerbaijan, as it is officially named, is a country located at the boundary of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. From Dubai, it takes less than three hours to reach the Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku. My transfer to the hotel had been prebooked, so I did not have to find a taxi or…

Just a Thought!
Come what may, Be reminded of my favourite cliché “Fortune favours the brave”, they say. So, let’s get ready for the next adventure. Let the wanderlust go. Allow the travel bug to bite you. This Pandemic if indeed prolonged, we pray may it not. Otherwise, many including myself will start to rot. ******************** By: Joan Amorganda #022-03062021 my poem, poem, poetry, my poetry, verse, quotes, quotation, quotations

Bored
Time and time again boredom strikes, So, I am writing poetry. Something that I find comforting, Better than constantly whining. I too have another appealing passion, Salsa dancing with friends. I really do miss the beat that Latin music treat, Goodness, when can we again collectively meet? ******** – Joan Amorganda / #019-22032021 Poem, my poem, poetry, poetry challenge, quote, quotes, quotation, quotations, verse, verses

Give Thanks!
Give Thanks for the glimpse of the first rays The morning sun brings That whisper a new beginning And drives to keep us going. Give Thanks for the start of a new day Lord, you enlighten the way With endless possibilities. That brings hope to a soul That is forever grateful. **************************************************** – Joan Amorganda / #018-21032021 Poem, Poetry, My poem, Poetry Challenge, Quote, Quotes, Quotation, Quotations.

A Plea
Heavenly Father we come to Thee, Hear our supplication and plea, Strengthen our faith no matter what we see, During these times of uncertainty. Sovereign Father let our every prayer, Will give us solace with your loving care, May you be with us now and forever, As we trust in Jesus Christ our redeemer. Amen. ************************************ – Joan Amorganda / #016-16032021 #Poem, Poetry, My Poem, Poetry Challenge, Quote, Quotes, Quotation, Quotations, Verse

Happy Easter Sunday!
As we reflect and celebrate “Easter Sunday” to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the core essence of Christianity, I would love to share with you a song written by Bill and Gloria Gaither entitled “Because He Lives“. The music on the background is my personal favorite version by Grace Larson. I hope you will like it too. In the midst of these crisis that we are facing right now, remember that Jesus Christ is there for us. Let us believe in Him, entrust our lives in Him, pray harder that we will get through this the soonest. Meanwhile, we do our human best to keep ourselves healthy and…
