I lost one of my favorite aunts last year to this cancer and an earlier detection could have saved her. This painting is dedicated to her and all the awareness effort.

keeping the dialog alive...

Rabbi Iaakov’s wife was always looking for an excuse to argue with her husband. Iaakov never reacted to her provocations. Until one night when, during a dinner with some friends, the rabbi had a ferocious argument with his wife to the surprise of all at the table.

“What happened?” they asked. “Why did you break your habit of never answering?”

“Because I realized that what bothered my wife the most was the fact that I remained silent. Acting in this way, I remained far from her emotions. My reaction was an act of love, now she understands that I hear her words.”

rambling...

♫ I'm not stubborn, not narrow-minded, not lazy, not stupid or maybe all of them.

I have to clear it up inside, need to leave some things up in the air, like a kind of mystery one gives up on, because there is no sense in just going round and round and round looking for an answer that's not there.
