I’ll be adding many photographs, from my extensive archive, along with my completed digital photo painting versions of each. My original intent of promoting peace through understanding & inspiration, by sharing my images of Israel’s, Jerusalem’s & Monotheism’s 3000+ years of Jewish national identity, along with its 2 millennia of Christian religious presence, and the art & architecture from the past 1400 years of Muslim imperial rule over the region, has suddenly & shockingly become more poignant than I would ever want to imagine was possible. The negative consequence of feeling hatred towards others is feeling hatred within yourself, at all, making the hater the source of their own misery, because depriving others of peace becomes more important than anything else. My friend was murdered at the peace rave & I’m being targeted relentlessly, but I can only feel hurt & pity for those who choose to hate us, because I love them & think we all deserve to share in the magnificent blessings of life.
