Over the weekend we watched ‘The Power of One’, a thought provoking film about life in South Africa at the beginning of the last century. One of the main characters, ‘Doc’, explained to his pupil that the answers to many questions could be found in nature. Like us, one of Doc’s hobbies was growing cacti, the climate in South Africa is obviously similar to that in Israel. Whilst thinking about Doc’s advice I remembered the most common question we are asked: Why have you left the UK to live in Nazareth? The question is asked because it is more common for people in our community to migrate in the opposite direction. I later noticed that one of our cacti was flowering, and because of this rare event (the flowers only last for a day or two) I took a photograph. When I saw the result of the photograph it gave the appearance of light coming from the inside of the flower, it was not, it was reflecting the sun. P

What a beautiful photograph It is hard to imagine such beauty when all the pictures I see make the land appear very barren.
We have some lovely photographs of you and the area up in St John's but I'm sure Janet keeps you up to date
Best wishes Carole
Keep reflecting "the light" Love Janet x
