there are three silences...
the first of speech
the second of desire
the third of thought

This was beautiful. Is the quote a "Queen Pammy" original or is there somewhere I can find it? You keep me on my toes!!!

I fairly familiar with the work of Lalla Essaydi. Some of her work is truly thought provoking (Although I wish I could read Islamic script so I can understand the literal meaning of the the henna script). Do you know of any places I can read up on her because everytime I view your page and see that picture followed by the "silence" quote, I am more and more intrigued.
