            For today’s newspaper we received a great picture from
            Elizabeth Griffin Long Branch, NJ. She wrote to us: “Aruba
            To Me Is …. All about vibrant colors....the sun, the sand,
            the sea, this sky....everywhere you look, there is a color
            explosion! Aruba is an artist’s dream.q



            The spiritual journey, without a distance





            There may come some point in  what we truly are. This may be

               Suresh Mirchumal is a spiritual writer. “Well, you can categorize it like
               that, although I don’t call myself one. These thoughts come in effort-
               lessly.” His aim is in a way to reach out to whoever gets inspired or
               has an eye opening event within them that may transcend their cur-
               rent state of consciousness. “Or let’s say current emotional state too.
               If one in a thousand benefits, that is already great.” Due to the current
               world state, lots of struggles and stresses, we seem to lose touch with
               that inner peace that we long for, Suresh explains. “I wish to ease that
               through these small articles or tidbits.” You will find his tidbits in Aruba
               Today from now on, like a sunray of the day. If you wish to make use
               of Suresh his services like meditation or just a talk, please email to:
