Creation of Man



O.k., today I will keep my post short. I have recently, and inexplicably, been thinking about the sistine chapel's frescos- most notably the "creation of man" panel. After studying it lightly I have come to two conclusions: 1) Adam has his eyes fixed on God and his face along with his upper body, show a concerted effort to look to God, but his arm is limp; half-heartedly reaching for God. Also his body is in a position that not only leans slightly away, but gives the impression of turning away. 2) God is not only reaching for Adam, but is stretching and leaning towards Adam. I find this relationship to hold true today, or perhaps I see this relationship because it exists today.

On a side note, and not to be downer, all sins can be forgiven- except one.

what it is.

Some people read horoscopes to help guide them through their lives, I do occasionally do this, but I prefer the word of the day- it has always seemed more appropriate to me. It is often an accurate description of me on that day or a feeling, attitude, or personal trait that seems prevalent at the moment. I had, at one point, showed how a story can be derived from connecting one day's word to the next, but, being honest and not remembering the story, it was probably an accurate description of me that month.

According to my monthly horoscope, I have nothing but good things ahead of me this month. I am a virgo, in case you were wondering. Most all descriptions I have seen of Virgos seem to be accurate. I really have nothing to say today, but I tried. It seems I'm really just waiting for something good to happen- I'm not really patient. I wait because I'm not really sure what it is that I want at this moment, I have set out goals to work towards and the things that I want in the future, but as for the moment, things seem uncomfortable- a notion I am very familiar with- and I just toss and turn looking for that "spot."

I always feel different; out of touch and awkward in any situation- like I don't really belong anywhere. That is probably the hardest thing to deal with. I can adjust to any situation to alleviate the discomfort I may cause others, and try to not to disturb the balance or apply a negative vibe. anyway... it is what it is and the line between wish and want- that from dusk to dawn, is wide and black, and then gray at the edges.
