May there be peace in the Middle East

As hundreds of thousands of Americans march today on the streets of Washington, DC to call for an end to Mr. Bush's war on Iraq, I light a candle in remembrance of all who have suffered displacement, injuries and death in his misguided invasion of a sovereign nation. The candle rests on an Egyptian scarf my friend Aly gave me, and hanging from Maggie Celestino's raku clay sculpture are my brother Rabih's wooden prayer beads. I see the New Mexican driftwood as a protective presence watching over the whole.

I wish it will come true. Very nice use of low light to make an image with excellent clarity.
