Yehudith Ravitz, "Forgiveness", '80s -'05
I think this clip is from the beggining of the '80s. History!
a very young Yehudith Ravitz singing 'Slichot', ('Forgiveness') a classic israeli song based on a poem by Leah Goldberg.
Forgiveness
You came to me, to open my eyes.
To me your body was a view,
A window and a mirror.
You came as night comes to the owl
To show him, in the darkness, all things.
And I learned: There's a name
For each eyelash and fingernail,
And for every hair on the exposed flesh.
And the scent of childhood,
The scent of paste and pine,
Is the night aroma of the body.
If there were torments -
They've sailed towards you.
My white sail into your darkness.
Allow me to go, oh allow me to go
And kneel on the shore of forgiveness.
- Leah Goldberg (1911-1970) - translated from hebrew by Chanah Shuvaly
and the next is 30 years after. 2005. Yehudith Ravitz remember the very song that opened doors for her when she was 22.

last laughter before the elections
Joe the plumber was supposed to appear at a John McCain rally today, but didn’t show up. Yeah. So, apparently, the guy really is a plumber.
Yesterday, the Secret Service arrested a man who climbed over the White House fence. Yeah, the Secret Service told the man, "Get back here, Mr. President. You have two more months."
— Conan O'Brien
Did you all see Barack Obama’s infomercial? I especially liked the end, where Barack rose to the heavens on a cloud. Wasn’t that unbelievable?
-Jay Leno
And how about last night, when Barack Obama had his half hour infomercial TV special. I mean, thank God! It’s about time this guy got some media coverage, don’t you think?
I thought it was one of those heartwarming infomercials. It had a wonderful ending. In the final scene Barack Obama is adopted by Angelina Jolie.
On a campaign bus trip, John McCain actually snubbed Sarah Palin. But to be fair to McCain, Palin was busy shooting squirrels outside the bus’s rear window at the time.

'Wine Sunset' - abstract in the middle of the week
middle of the week and we have a beautiful sunny day here, in south Ontario - a little bit chilly, but beautiful anyways - so, here we go with an abstract work full of fall colors and light: 'Wine Sunset'. you can see a hi-res version in my Flickr page.
and now you can see also my current weather in the column on the right hand.
I am enjoying a lot doing this line of abstract designings - it's fun - and isn't so simple like apparently is. at least for me.
the goal is to put them on canvas - and for that I'm looking for a viable way to transform CMYK or RGB colors to acrylic combinations.
its clear that those combos follow up a math rule - I'm working on that - any advance I'll tell you.

on Rilke
We must accept our reality as vastly as we possibly can; everything, even the unprecedented, must be possible within it. This is in the end the only kind of courage that is required of us: the courage to face the strangest, most unusual, most inexplicable experiences that can meet us.
- R.M. Rilke, from Letters to a Young Poet, 1929
(drawn from a photo of Rilke and friends at castle Muzot, in 1923 - see my Flickr page for more)
