The wave returns to the ocean. What the ocean does with the water after that is anyone’s guess. But as a very wise not-robot once told me, the true joy is in the mystery.

JERUSALEM: 

JERUSALEM is the capital of the modern nation of Israel and a major holy city for the three Western traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It sits on spurs of bedrock between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea area. To the north and west, it tapers off to the Jezreel Valley and the hills of the Galilee, while to the south lies the Judean desert. The city is surrounded by three steep ravines (to the east, south, and west). On the other side of the eastern ravine, across the Kidron valley, is the Mount of Olives.

Historically, Jerusalem was an urban center for approximately 5,000 years. Scholars debate the original meaning of the name (Sumerian “foundation” or Semitic “to found” or to “lay a cornerstone”). It could also derive from the name of the Canaanite god of dusk, Shalem, where the main consonants of s-l-m also denote the Hebrew (salam or shalom), which means “peace.” Ironically, the city has known very little peace over the centuries.

Ancient Egyptian Decorative Art

Today we present Ancient Egyptian decorative art from the Italian art portfolio Gli stili nella forma e nel colore, rassegna dell’ arte antica e moderna di tutti i paesi, or “The styles in form and color, a review of ancient and modern art from all countries,” by Giulio Ferrari, a conservator for Museo Artistico Industriale in Rome. It was published in 1925 by C. Crudo & C. Torino for Società Italiana Edizioni Artistiche. The illustrations we are featuring today are from Volume One.
