Persistence of Memory II

Dedicated to all those who lost a childhood friend or a childhood to war. For all those who think war is the answer, they should remember that there is a world that exists in every life that is destroyed by war.

 

I processed this photo of my son and his friend from our weekend desert trip and it immediately took me back to my days of playing with my best childhood friend in the dirt lots of Afghanistan. Then came the Soviet Union war and my family, after years of living in that war zone had to leave. Unfortunately I lost a childhood during those many years of war and my best childhood friend.

 

When I was younger, I buried all the emotions, but unfortunately mid life has forced me to reflect. I think that on the subject of war, humanity needs some deep and honest reflecting and thinking.
