ART – SATAN’S DEFEAT, PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Posted: June 10, 2010 in Art, Middle East, World PeaceTags: Angels, Art, Middle East, World Peace
This sculpture spoke to me today. It’s called Satan’s Defeat and I don’t know who the artist is. It made me think of the Middle East and the need for peace. If “satan” is hatred in the world, then a defeat of hatred can only occur when Peace rises like a rose above it. As [...]

When someone you love is dying so many things don’t even seem important. In that moment, one person becomes your most profoundest teacher. Their sweetness is like snow falling on cedars. Everything they say means something memorable, life-giving and important. In Maori culture we call such conversations–the “ohaki.” Life is about entrances and exits. Memories of life, [...]
