The Western Wall, also known as the "Wailing Wall" or the "Kotel," is one of the most significant religious and historical sites in Jerusalem, Israel. It holds deep spiritual and emotional importance for Jews worldwide, and it has also become a symbol of the complex and often contentious nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Western Wall is a remnant of the ancient retaining wall that once surrounded the Second Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE. After the temple's destruction, the Western Wall became the closest accessible site for Jewish prayer and pilgrimage. For centuries, Jews from around the world have come to this sacred site to pray, lament the destruction of the temple, and express their connection to Jewish heritage.
The name "Wailing Wall" originates from the 19th and early 20th centuries when Jews would gather at the site to mourn the destruction of the temple and express their sorrow through prayers and tears. The term "Kotel" means "wall" in Hebrew and has become a popular and endearing name for the site.
Over time, the Western Wall has evolved into a focal point of religious and nationalist tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. The site is located in the Old City of Jerusalem, which is also part of the contested area between Israel and Palestine. Its significance to both Jewish and Muslim communities has led to disputes and occasional clashes.
The Western Wall plaza is divided into two sections: one for men and the other for women, following Orthodox Jewish tradition. The prayers and rituals conducted here are a mix of individual devotion, communal worship, and celebrations during religious holidays.
In addition to its religious importance, the Western Wall draws millions of tourists and visitors from various backgrounds each year, offering them a glimpse into the rich history and cultural diversity of Jerusalem.
Despite the ongoing complexities surrounding the Western Wall and its geopolitical context, it remains an essential and cherished place for Jewish people, symbolizing resilience, faith, and the connection to their shared heritage.
For those who are sick of my floral shots, i apologize... I promise when the flowers are gone, you won't see them :)

I think the word "Alone" has been touched on over and over in this series of photos, however it needs it's own space because it may be the hardest of all the pills to swallow. It's one thing to go through a situation where you've lost everything, but to go through it by yourself is by far the worst feeling in the world. Often times what separates those who make it back on their feet, to those who never recover, is one simple thing. Support.
We're all different people, and everyone who falls has their own reasons for falling. One thing we all have in common though is that any single one of our individual falls can be broken up by another person choosing to get involved. What hurts more than anything in the world is falling, and seeing everyone you ever considered a friend just watching. No one offering to help, no one trying to prevent or even slow your decent, just watching, pitying, and coldly turning the other cheek. There's no feeling lonelier in the world than knowing in your time of need, when it's finally YOU who needs help, that everyone, even the ones you helped at points when you stood tall and they needed a hand, will just let you fall.
If you know someone who is struggling, no matter what that struggle is, let them know you see them. If you care about them, let them know. You might be the reason they recover, you might be all they needed, but you'll never know unless you try.

We got to see lots of this yesterday. The really strange thing, none of the males actually gave the offerings to the mates or possible mates.
Not big enough or too big????

Nature's Offering is actually a remake of a picture I made about two years ago: Lord of Winter.

However, I was never really happy with it. But this one? Well "Nature's Offering" is more of the vibe I was aiming for. Add in "Frozen Tides" (link below), the feel was complete!
Worthy of note is the pose I'm using: Mirror, Mirror from Be My Mannequin? Pose Store. The pose comes with a special mirror prop (not shown in picture) and I adjusted the head angle slightly.
Go DEMO it for yourself in the main store or check it out on Marketplace!
Additionally, click for HD to see the brand new stunning, icy Avalanche eyes from Pariah which is coincidentally right next door to Be My Mannequin?! Also the pale skin is by them as well: Virus White Body Powder from the Virus pack!
And honestly I really need to give a shout out to Studio Skye for the background (which I pieced together) using Enchanted Woods set and Water System. I am seriously in love with how detailed and the variety of options that come with all their products!

The Devils blood
The curse of salvation
The odious essence
Of His holy revelation
It floats from the garden of eden
In malevolent grace
The Devil's blood

You just can't live that negative way. You know what I mean. Make way for the positive day. Cause it's a new day... -

The universe does not know whether the vibration that you're offering is because of something you're observing or something you're remembering or something that you are imagining. It just receives the vibration and answers it with things that match it.” -
Abraham Hicks
The words we choose to use when we communicate with each other, carry vibrations. The word ‘war’ carries a whole different vibration than the word ‘peace’. The words we use are showing how we think and how we feel. The careful selection of words, helps to elevate our consciousness and resonate in higher frequencies. -
Grigoris Deoudis
A no has a different frequency than a yes, and a maybe is all vibration, oscillating between no and yes. My favorite answers have no movement.” -

I like this shot of someone offering a banana to the passing marathon runners taken towards the end of the day - someone did take it.

I can’t believe I’ve not visited the Quays once this year. Even this offering is from way back in February 2019.
I miss the place…

Autumn Offering
“I shall be Autumn
this Halloween,
with leaf draped skirt,
and folds of
boysenberry velvet wine
flowing to the ground.
Brown stained face,
eyes rimmed in gold,
nails dripping sunset,
a crown of twigs
to cover my head.
You may gather from me
the spring of my youth,
my summer of maturity,
and hold onto with me,
the solace of these days
of remembering
before the frost.”
— Judith A. Lawrence, editor/publisher of River Poets Journal
