The Window - Part Two
And suddenly ten years have passed. It has become my more-than-ten-thousand-dollar window in the process. Perhaps it is time for the window to change. Perhaps ten years is just enough. Let's think about it for a while. There is always the danger of changing one's focus from process to product, and so losing the inexplicable joy of creation - one ends up with just another painting. Let's think about it for a while.
In celebration of our anniversary I would like to offer an eclectic group of paintings from past window displays for sale, and 100% of the profits will be donated to Caritas Internationalis for their work in Gaza. Caritas Internationalis is made up of 162 Catholic relief, development, and social service organizations operating in 200 countries and territories throughout the world. Our fundraiser will specifically support Caritas Jerusalem's commitment to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem. I had visited the Holy Land in 2019 and was deeply troubled by the impoverished circumstances of the Palestinian people at that time. Recent images of destruction and famine have broken my heart.
Finally, a word of gratitude to all those who stood in front of the window these past ten years. Whether you were happy with what you saw, or somewhat incredulous at the strange and clumsy images, how lovely it is that you visited and spent a few moments in contemplation.
