Art of love/ Love of art
On a warm hillside grow some modest olive-trees, surrounded by rocky lands awaiting the first autumn rain to wash their leaves.
Vats full of green and black olives, collected with the warmest hands.
Grandmother sings a song and birds dance and glance.
The sun shines and glows and helps us understand
that beauty lies in simple things and in working hand in hand.
Father cuts some branches to use in creating arts that whisper in everybody’s ears: we are made of love; we seek peace and quiet dreams.
His art is simple as a flower,
authentic as an old wisdom,
strong to break down a wall.
The moon sends its light, the birds have searched their nests, the olive fruits have dropped their tears, bottles filled with oil, kettle on fire, fresh baked bread in mother’s hands, family around the table and mother is singing peace.
With so much love we bring you these precious pieces made in the Holy Land. Pieces, which surely will warm your heart and bring you the love and the peace of these hillsides, sunshine, warm hands and our loving hearts.
