Star of David



Walking one street of my town I saw this class III blast wall, in front of the israeli association, painted by their children.

I thought in making one star of David, (in the end it is a filled star of David). Dzeni had made many incredible designs of David's stars. So ask her for her designs :-) or better visit her blog. There are much better stars of David there, her blog is very popular. http://dzeni.blogspot.com
Or in Dzeni's Flickr too.


This is mine:




Not the peace of a cease-fire
not even the vision of the wolf and the lamb,
but rather
as in the heart when the excitement is over
and you can talk only about a great weariness.
I know that I know how to kill, that makes me an adult.
And my son plays with a toy gun that knows
how to open and close its eyes and say Mama.
A peace
without the big noise of beating swords into ploughshares,
without words, without
the thud of the heavy rubber stamp: let it be
light, floating, like lazy white foam.
A little rest for the wounds - who speaks of healing?
(And the howl of the orphans is passed from one generation
to the next, as in a relay race:
the baton never falls.)

Let it come
like wildflowers,
suddenly, because the field
must have it: wildpeace.

Yehuda Amichai, "Wildpeace".

Looks very fiery and alive. Interesting interpretation.

...and a little out of line too.

Thanks for the link and your kind words. That graphic is very hot! It looks like its on fire.

You are welcome. The idea was a star of David that looks like on fire; so based on this comments I've made it well :-)

You are very lucky for the many people you knew and know, that is the stunning thing to me, when I notice who you've known or know actually.
Don't know what you're doing so late; hope you are already slept. :-) I should try the same.

You surely have your own, beautiful Tai, I can tell, you can't fool me. :-) That is not a good reason to quit either... you clown :-D
