Yesterday's image showed me peace, and today's image brings me back to earth. Man's belief that materials and the endless work of people to build an object will bring them closer to God. The people in the drawing do not look happy or enlightened, but exhausted and unhappy. This image shows me one way man has gone off the path.
The thing that comes to my mind is that in punishment God created more languages,in order the people who dared to dream to get to God,cannot understand each other.Was that such a bad thing?Today I think English is little bit kind of universal language,a small part of history returns.
According to the Kabbalists the Babel tower that is represented as a phisical tower was not such, but was actually made out of prayers, that is all I know about it, although I don’t know exactly which prayers!

Amazing paintings – by Gustave Dore, thank you for showing them to us.

To forget how grand this tower must have been. As an American I think about how tall the world trade center towers were, and how the people back then felt also. Imagining the sounds, and smell of the drawing is an experience as well.
