Jerusalem
Souk below Damascus Gate - 1994
I lived in Jerusalem and consciously ignored her
for the first three years. Gradually, she tugged at my soul. The city walls came to life at dusk, animated by a light so peculiar at the close of the day. How different this city would look if her stones were darker.
What do these walls hide in years of destruction and rebuilding? How many times has she been destroyed and will she be removed again? Yet, she persists through death and resurrection!
