HOPE - a poem.
Posted on September 11, 2010 at 4:41pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
HOPE
[so far yet so near]
Hope my foundation stone,
a breeze of emerald light;
warm glistening of rustling branches,
leaving no fear in the shadows.
With a singing heart,
[so far yet so near]
Hope my foundation stone,
a breeze of emerald light;
warm glistening of rustling branches,
leaving no fear in the shadows.
With a singing heart,
regrets do not engulf me
and makes hope my true land,
and makes hope my true land,
as celestial clouds revive my happiest memories of azure blue
and the smell of fresh cut grass.

- A True Story By Faisal Al-kateep
I am a Palestinian Arab from Hizmeh, a village between Jerusalem and Ramallah. When I was 15 years old I fought against the Israeli Occupation in search of freedom. At that time I thought every Jewish person, whether soldier or citizen, man or woman, young or old, should be killed. I rejected the right for any Jew to live and every Jew was a target. I was just a kid, believe me, and I didn’t understand anything about politics or the Arab-Israeli conflict. I was arrested and sat in jail for 12 years. This was during the first intifada from 1987. At that time nobody talked about peace but only of violence. I matured during my time in jail. I started studying and reading books on politics, literature, poetry, and about the Madrid Conference.
It gave me hope to live in peace and dignity. I learned that violence only breeds violence and that peace is the only solution for the two nations, the only way for both to have a respectful and beautiful future. We live on the same land. We are neighbors. We drink the same water and both pray to a monotheistic God. We must live in peace on the basis of religion for God and land for everyone.

Joel Weltman said… - Hey Bro, looks like we have a bit in common, except that after many relationships I'm taking a well-deserved sabbatical and concentrating on my photography and painting these days, taking Eudora Welty's advise when she warns that "families are the death of art". She is of course talking about the enormous energy and time it takes to maintain a partnership.
I'm somewhat into Buddhism especially the paintings, but am too undisciplined to practice. I just try not to do too much damage and maintain as small a footprint on the planet as I can manage as far as useless detritus.
This web site is a good opportunity for artists to share their vision and hopefully point the way toward alternative ways of thinking and seeing a way out of this ugly forest of seemingly endless fear, suspicision and hatred.
If you want you can join me and some pals on facebook and we can carry on over there as well.
Regards, Joel
