Illustration Friday..

I have decided to resubmit my topic for Wisdom and add Reflection to it. Without reflection, wisdom can not be found.

I will probably do another entry later in the week...

Almost forgot about that today's Illustration Friday!

Here's my submission for "Wisdom"

Titled:

Let the sun shine in the night time and please no more dying.
Please let us have peace and no more fighting. People are dying.
