Where has all the Faith Gone?
Where is our religion? Is it in the temples of Asia, or the mountain churches of Lebanon, the faraway tribes of Africa, or the monasteries of tibet? Is it in mosques? Is it with soothsayers? Is it with the self proclaimed healers and seers? Is it in the holy cities of our world? Is it…

Day 23~ March 23rd~ Egypt
Our memories work in a funny way that we mostly remember the things that stand out, the odd things… Have you ever met someone who spoke to animals in the most natural way as if animals understood every word they said? I have. This boy in this 15 year old film scan was the camel…
