Memorial Day May 31, 2021: "Wounds of War: Peace/Pax/Shalom/Salaam"
I wish that in my lifetime I will see peace
when we no longer feel the need
to kill or maim each other
or assert power over each other
when we truly care for one another
as we were meant to do
when we acknowledge the hurts we have done
to each other and to ourselves
and seek true forgiveness and reconciliation
when we have compassion for ourselves
and each other
I wish that in my lifetime I will see Peace.

Assemblage by mayah(c)2021 "Wounds of War: Peace/Pax/Shalom/Salaam" Memorial Day: May 31, 2021 24" X 6" X 1"

Close up: right side of board
Made from old electrical sockets, metal and plastic junk, acrylic paint, wood board.
This project started when I had 62-year-old electric sockets upgraded in my house; many of the sockets were broken. I looked at them and immediately "saw" wounded people.
The piece is unfinished: The background is going to be painted baby blue, and the words "Peace/Pax/Shalom/Salaam" written all around the sockets. Even though it's not yet finished, I wanted to post it today for Memorial Day.

Thank you for your display and comments.
As a Electrical engineer and a lover of freedom, I must say your post id very interesting and informative!
I agree with your premise of the desire for peace! Yet as a student of the world, I have seen that there is only one choice here!
Either we (you) must come to understand that in order to give or allow people the freedom to think and act - there must be a " Hands Off " allowance. Other wise you become a dictator or total controller! Which is not what freedom but domination!
I have posted many posts which address this key principle of life here upon the Earth today! It is the sad fact - yet the truth is, like it or not! Keep the faith and show love where ever you go!
Agape Love never fails!
* Only fools, under a false flag of freedom; fail in their self centered desire of total domination!
May the Blessing of Agape Love adorn you and keep you on the pathway of shearing and caring! May the peace of God keep you Lady is my prayer!
May the Peace of God guide your heart and soul!
