Children and peace...

Last couple of days I have been thinking that there is not much left until year end…everyday routine catches us…and here…days fly away...another year will be gone soon…

Today I want to mention peace…and children...in my post…

Children are future of this planet…it is proven by now that happier childhood means happier adulthood…and happier people mean happier planet…I hope next year brings lots of joy, happiness, laughter and smiles to all children around the world…I hope we adults remember to do our best so that it is the case...its festive season now and hopefully every child will get something as a present…maybe we all can play a role and present something not only to our own children but also to another child in need…I took below pictures in another miraculous place of Azerbaijan in Xinaliq this November…it must be very cold there now…but I hope very much and I am actually sure that these kids we met are happy enjoying warmth of their mothers and households…God bless each and every…

Below picture is not a very good one…but my favourite badge…fellow artist found it while walking in Venice and when saw my excitement gave it to me…I keep it as a great memory…When thinking “make love not war” I don’t only mean wars per se …very often people willingly or unwillingly upset each other with words…I wonder if the ones who upset feel better after…aren’t kinds words of praise and support much better?…last couple of weeks world is obsessed with discussions about who said what about whom…just like kitchen gossip in a bigger scale…come on…

Every child has a right to grow in peace…it is sad that lives of one might become victims of someone else’s politics…we hope and pray for peace in Azerbaijan and everywhere else in the world…although in ceasefire Azerbaijan again had victims this year…May they rest in peace...

I hope for a peaceful year 2011...
