I’ve been busy working with friends from around the world on a new anthology to be launched next month.  Song Of Sahel brings together some of the artists who collaborated on Every Child Is Entitled to Innocence as well as many new and interesting artists. Song Of Sahel is unique as it is not merely poetry and prose but will include paintings, artwork, music and photography along with poetry and prose.

I found reading your post on the Sahel to be brilliant. I will reblog this post so even more people who are interested in the Sahel can check out and read your post and blog. After reading your post I find I am extremely impressed with how magnificent your post is and how informative. This will help a great many people to develop a further understanding of what is happening in the Sahel. I learned more specifics myself which were helpful and I thought I did my research. It is a pleasure to meet you this way. Here’s to the success of the Song of Sahel and the helping of the children and their families and all the people in the Sahel. ~the secret keeper~ **************************************************************************************************** Song of Sahel SOS Children cannot eat words; blinded by starvation, they cannot see pictures.

I go out and hope for the best, am a little scared about the worst that could happen. I drive slow and look for things to find now that I have the time, so when I don't have the time I'll know where they are.

I decide to find a movie theater I've never been to. The day before, I went to see the new the Spiderman Movie.

The amazing photographs on the blog site THE WAY I SEE will blow you away. The particular photograph I am viewing at this moment particularly moves me. I have a total obsession with trees shot in this perspective of using darkness and light b&w. It is very surreal to me. Something very mystical happening here inside this photograph. If you love photography as an art form then I would check this blog out. You will have an transcending experience. This blog adds to my inspiration to want to take up photography on a more regular basis. I do videos where I am able to pull still photographs but somehow I don't feel that is ezactly the same expereince. I am more interested in nature; flowers, trees, unusual representations of nature in abstract, surreal, and intense emphasis on detail and close-ups that defines the parts separate from the whole image, so that identity can be fragmented in an unusual imagery. ~the secret keeper~ by Jennifer Kiley ********************************************************************************************** Song of Sahel SOS Children cannot eat words; blinded by starvation, they cannot see pictures.
