thank for sharing a reality that we all sometimes forget is there.... beautiful features that capture real emotions and situations that again we sometimes don't realize and may take for granted.... excellent job with pinching me and waking me again.....

I did get permission to use the quote ... Would never use it without it!
Thank you - your compliment is appreciated ...

I lived in Point Noirre, Congo in 1999; just after the rebels took over the power station ... so yes - I do look at this subject a little different than the average person ...

The images in your journal are heartbreaking. Thank you for taking me out of my comfort zone and reminding me that humans are not the advanced species we pretend to be. I wish there were an easy solution for the ills of this world but it can only be done the hard way, if at all. If artists cannot place a mirror before the face of humanity then who can?
