missing home, Cairo Nov.17-24

We've all been there . . .
far away from the family and friends,
far from familiar smells and tastes,
in another country -
missing home.
It’s a deep feeling of longing and
unhappiness in one’s soul.
All people experience it, even if they have never
traveled out of their own village.
I find it fascinating.
The world is full of opportunities for man
to admire and pursue –
so many things to see,
to learn and to buy.
As beautiful as the world is,
man has a strong sense that
it’s not enough. He doesn’t belong here.
Man was made for eternity. He cannot find
full satisfaction with the things from the earth.
He wants heaven.
He misses the lost paradise.
He longs for holiness.
These pictures are my personal attempt to
touch the pictures behind the pictures.
It’s a challenge to show man’s invisible,
eternal longing for God.
May heaven reveal it, if I have succeeded.
