<\/p>In the last week,\u00a0 the chaos and protests that have taken place in Egypt have kept our eyes locked on the TV for more news. Recently looters had broken in the Egyptian museum<\/a>, and luckily not much was ransacked, unlike the looting done in Iraq during the invasion.\n

I was in Egypt a few years ago and visited the Egyptian Museum, the pyramids,\u00a0and other famous sites of anquities that are so valuable. One can only hope that Egypt, it\u2019s people, and its famous sites will not be harmed too badly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All\u00a0eyes are on Egypt these days and although it is difficult, journalists are recording the events as they unfold.\u00a0They hopefully have all-seeing eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Arbor-Hieroglyph: The Third Eye I. \u00a9 2007, Linda C. Everson<\/p><\/div>\n

This reminds me of the many\u00a0eye hieroglyphics<\/a> that I saw so often while there. I use aspen tree eye images in many of my Arborglyph<\/em> monoprints, and\u00a0recently\u00a0began a new series which included tree eyes, hieroglyphics and\u00a0of course The Eye of Horus<\/a>,<\/em> which is said to have protective and healing powers<\/a>.\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope that during these protests in Egypt, there will be a protective eye over everyone there.<\/p>\n
