Hi, I posted some stuff (or will shortly) on your piece on the artists group but I wanted to respond to your journal entry.
It is a little known fact that the entire western world owes its existence to the Islamic empire that existed for hundreds of years after the death of the prophet, we directly owe the renasance to the scholars, artists and architects of the islamic world who took and saved knowledge from all over the world and compiled it in thier great libraires, this was at a time when Europe was in the dark ages and the Christian world was in moral and social decline. The architecture of the muslim world gave rise to the architecture of the great cathedrals. I think that the genius of so many buildings, religious buildings or otherwise, in the muslim world is in that there is no focus, icons are forbidden by the God of Abraham and this edict was taken very seriously by the prophet as such the expression of an individual architects faith is the the building itself rather than in an icon that the building is formed around or even shaped as (Cathedrals).

You know what makes me sad?
Trying to play my lil wooden flute, having it not respond right, looking inside and seeing spiderwebs and what is in all likeliness an egg sac.
But you know what makes me happy?
A cute elderly fellow coming to our apartment to give us a card and $300. I guess good deeds don't always go unnoticed
