HIM site from Sellassie WWW & HyperBiography * Ethiopian Art: The Walters Art Museum The volume contains fine reproductions from the largest collection of Ethiopian art outside that country, held by the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore. A text on the life and religious practices in Ethiopia by distinguished Ethiopian studies scholar Getatchew Haile and another by Jacques Mercier (Ethiopian Magic Scrolls) on the country's art history provide an introduction to the people, culture, and art of Christian Ethiopia and set the stage for an understanding and appreciation of the Ethiopian influence in works evocative of the religious art and iconography of Byzantium and Russia. Insightful contributions by C. Griffith Mann (The Visitor's Voice) on the role of various religious symbols in Ethiopian culture pay tribute to the technical skills of the artisans and place the artifacts within the customs and practices of that country. Offering useful information and delightful images for the student and enthusiast of world civilizations and cultures, this book provides, through an Ethiopian experience, a uniquely global perspective on the art of the Orthodox Christian world. |

There is an orderly sequence of events in the shaping of our lives...
As we think, we make choices....
As we make choices, we form habits....
As we form habits, we fix the direction of our lives....
So, if we are to live differently, we must form new habits....
If we are to form new habits, we must make new choices....
If we are to make new choices, we must do new thinking....
AND.... It is more important to DO our best, than to BE the best!That is how I became an Ethiopian.
Nations are formed the same way.
Now you know where to go for answers, if you see wrong in the country.
