They insist that peace will never be,
That hatred runs too deep,
That it’s always been this way,
But your dance negates their claim.
You dance and spin
in a cloud of white softness,
You dance and spin.
Ascending into a heavenly arena.
No longer touching ground
you levitate,
and trace the realm of God…
…Their darkness cannot overtake you.
Born of a land tormented.
You dance as sisters
Israeli and Palestinian.
A whirlwind of Spirit envelops you.
Are you Jewish, Christian, or Muslim?
Are you all of the above, or none of the above?
Are you sisters born of Spirit?
The very Spirit that blows across the desert landscape
Searching zealously for Her lost daughters?
They insist that peace will never be,
But yours is a dance of peace.
Two sisters that belong to the land,
Two sisters who live in
The beauty of the other;
Two sisters fused in rhythm,
Synchronized in motion,
Moving in and out of Divine gyrations
beyond the realm of lies,
Beyond the realm of death!
They insist that peace will never be
but yours is a dance of perfect Peace, Shalom, Salam.
Yours is the dance of the Spirit of God!
Religion Is Garbage. Why Bother? 
Dedicated to all people of vision and faith, artists, poets, and prophets, who have the conviction of a world yet to be realized. I shot these photos at the Akko Theatre in Israel. One woman is Palestinian, the other is Israeli, they both dance for peace and building bridges of understanding.
Beautiful poem, beautiful photos, and a beautiful sentiment.
Thank you Janice! Transformative change in the world never comes easy. 🙂

Thank you for the amazing photos and words.
We have the most powerful and very unique tool in our species to create an Universal State of Peace (USP), but it’s getting so rusted and wrinkle making almost impossible to others to believe in it. Thanks for giving time to your mind and begin to build an USP. (ESM 2014)
They said Apartheid would never end in South Africa but it did. Israel/Palestine is the next miracle waiting to be manifested. Peace, Paz, Salam, Shalom.
