A belated Christmas greeting but one well meant.The story is long told and the journey is well trod ..... each year, in fact. Of course, they remember one journey taken long ago.
For the last many years this scene is what would have been found.

Their Voice Cries out into Noise and Silence
This is a powerful image of two Gazan sisters .. Palestinians found on the website www.palestinechronicle.com .... may be they are dead now. Condemned by the mighty as terrorists because they are Palestinians. This must not continue. I have included them as part of my family (on facebook ) to in some way embrace them. Will you?The noise is that of blitzkreig over Gaza. The Silence is the decision of the powerful.
I hasten to note that the photo was taken by Zoriah .... cf www.zoriah.com I have written to him to ask if he knows anything of these two girls since the blitzkreig. Zoriah has replied and indicated the girls live in Beach camp, Gaza and while he does not know what has happened to them he will seek to find out.

This drawing is the work of Rick Ball, a fine Australian artist who has 'gone missing' .. we think, at least in the art world which is a sad loss. ( Sunday 11th January 2009 .... I discovered by referring to google.com.au .. that Rick is not missing AND he is not lost to the world of Art. For me - no, for Jocelyn and I - both of these statements are important. We valued our contact with him as person and as I noted in the side notes of this blogspot I valued him as teacher / aesthete ... it was more than art )
While this drawing has a particular title it belongs to a number of works Rick drew connected to "David's Dance" ... King David's 'uninhibited display of exuberance recorded in 2 Samuel 6.
The thought of a political leader dancing and leaping with joy before God appealed to Rick"
cf reference in Dawn Mendham's book "The Refining Fire" an Albatross publication 0 86760 035 7.

This drawing draws attention to one who is severely limited yet he / she ... the figure also dances. Yes, he may not achieve yet he continues to reach out ... to dance.
