I've taken a black day, put on wounds and covered them with dust of cement.
It has changed the world... and my view on it.
Did you ever see the documentary film '9/11' of the french brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet and FDNY firefighter James Hanlon?
Maybe some pictures and sounds I never forget in my live without freezing the blood in my veins...
In remberance of all victims of terror, hate and delusion.
I don't believe in 'time health all wounds' - but as Mahatma Gandhi said:
An eye for an eye - and the world would be blind.
There are many others of this week's drawing challenge who are touched... take a look at lovely Jasmin's house, please.

AntwortenLöschenyour red curtain photo is beautiful, simple but very symbolic, xx
Dear Patrice,
AntwortenLöschenI saw couples holding hands during the long, long fall... is it hopelessness? or is this hope?
I dont't want be scared, too. And I'm more mindful.
You're right... let there be love.
Dear Renilde,
yes, love is the answer.
I've taken red paper on black paper with clouds of small crumbs of cement... but I've photographed it in a blurry way.
Red curtain... a good idea.
Love,
Ariane.

Dear Nadine,
AntwortenLöschen... 'the power of standing after the fall'... steering towards life and love.
I've began with white outlines of the twin towers drawn with cement on black paper... but the red symbols fits more. Red is really a strong colour. x
Dear Jasmin,

A beautiful post. I love all your pictures. The towers and their alikes. The falling man (interesting how you and Jasmin had the same picture in your heads!). I have no more words. You said it all.
AntwortenLöschenLove. Elisabeth
What a beautiful and poignant memorial.
AntwortenLöschenThe words of Gandhi, I'll remember them.
Finally I presented a theme for this Sunday/this weekend. I hope you'll find it inspiring...
