I did find it on this web site, however it was out of stock. :( Incidentally, it's by Kahlil Gibran's cousing who also happens to be Kahlil Gibran.

I wish I could remember who it was by. I started to read it once but lost the book in a move.

I hope by telling the story of this amazing man's life we raise awareness about world citizenship. :) Mon, 04 Jul 2005 02:25:03 GMT http://biographyx.tribe.net/thread/1c3de5ab-85d2-4c5c-b9a4-960dd66d06ab#a82a9e5f-618d-421c-ae0a-ca580319ea91 Jason 2005-07-04T02:25:03Z http://biographyx.tribe.net/thread/1c3de5ab-85d2-4c5c-b9a4-960dd66d06ab#7f75c167-2fe2-44a8-a1a6-8b6657eb68d7 Already this reawakened Tribe opens a new door in my life.

It's a fascinating story about a man that Albert Einstein once refered to as a genius. I recommend reading his book, "My Country Is The World" or "Dear World - a Global Odessy". Here's a review letter about the book from Hollywood Producer, Arthur Kanegis about the book: "Dear Garry: Well, I just finished reading your terrific letter to humanity: Dear World. I must say that this is the most inspiring profile in courage I have ever read. It is an uplifting story of the rise of the human spirit. I cried with some of the victims of persecution who found courage and identity in your passports. My heart swelled with pride as you and Robin joined the human beings tearing down the Berlin Wall! And I laughed until my sides ached at the poor bureaucrats helplessly grasping for a way to deal with an intruder from the real world who steps beyond the reach of their silly games (I'm reminded of the scene in Life is Beautiful in which the Gestapo SS officer rants and raves while Roberto translates the ravings into a children's game). As the Berlin Wall came crashing down, and people across the planet found themselves discovering by fire that their own unarmed people power is more powerful than even the world's mightiest armies, you have been that beacon of light, showing them through the smoldering rubble of the crashed, oppressive dictatorships a bright beam toward a better way. You have, by your actions, shown all of us that we have it within ourselves to say "Here I stand; I am a citizen of the world!" Dear World breaks out of the rigid structural approach that infects even so many of us who are concerned about creating a democratic world, and aligns itself with the evolving flow of humanity on this tiny blue marble - reaching that higher plane where there is no one to fight, nothing to struggle against, only a place to stand in the future which draws forth those trapped in the past. It is truly a love letter to planet Earth." His books can be found at his own publishing agency called World Government House at http://worldgovernmenthouse.com/.
