In the new year 2010 -- our hope and wish for the world:
PAX . . . peace . . . shalom .
For James' "Weekend Reflections" -- stained glass windows reflected in the door of a confession booth.
And our hope and wish for Jerusalem and the Holy Land..
Nice reflections of the stained glass windows.
ReplyDeleteThe first image is so simply yet so powerful and profound.
ReplyDeleteThis was one of my first thoughts every new year, for at least thirty years. It was really close at times, but something always happened.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope again...
Lovely, peaceful reflection. Happy new year :)
ReplyDeleteTwo significant images, Dina. The composition of the top image is first rate.
ReplyDeleteI wish you health and happiness and peace as we journey into twenty ten.
Indeed! We should all pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
ReplyDeleteBonne année!
May peace prevails over the city and the world.
ReplyDeleteShalom, Salaam, Peace as the t-shirt I bought in Netanya says. Belated best wishes for the New year.
ReplyDeleteA good wish. The best wish.
ReplyDeletePeace be unto all of us.
Oh yes, definitely! May there be peace and more understanding around the world.
ReplyDeleteHauoli Makahiki Hou and Shalom, Dina!
Salaam to you and yours as well! Best wishes for the new year.
ReplyDeleteIt's the prayer which has sent tingles through my body this morning. That psalm is such an ancient, so very beautiful and yet seemingly forever unfulfilled cry.
ReplyDeleteIf only there were the will, the imagination and the freedom of spirit to fulfill it.

ReplyDeleteLots of peaceful words but seldom do they work out or last for long. I wonder, sometimes, why that is.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflection, and a powerful post. Yes, let us all pray for peace in the world. Kathy

PAX is what it is all about - I'll second that.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Pax et Harmonia!
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet year 2010!
Great reflections Dina. Subtle but very nice.
ReplyDeletePeace for Jerusalem and the Holy Land and for the whole world is essential; it's mainly a matter of intelligence: with the progress reached, I think man HAS the intelligence to set up a peaceful world.
ReplyDeletehappy camera critters! visit my 2nd entry! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteMy best wishes to you and you dear ones, I hope peace is one of the things that will happen but I'm not very hopeful about it. Nevertheless we must keep hope.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflection and message. One we should all take to heart.
