I've been absent for awhile.  I confess that the Israeli - Palestinian religious war has made me quite depressed.  So much useless death.  Because of that I felt that posting on Facebook or here on my blog was like screaming into a waterfall.  None of it makes a damn bit of difference.  So I stopped.  Thank you to those who inquired as to my well being.  

I found this meme this morning and it spoke to me.  "Don't worry about what anyone thinks of you.  Don't seek approval, except from yourself.  Your art and ideas are signs of your spirit."
