Enjoy while you can. For better or for worse, nothing but eternity lasts forever.

photoblog
I finally set up a photoblog - Tide Pool Reflections - (well, I thought of the name as I was installing on the fly - lemmy think about it). I have a new Nikon D70, still in the box - my first digital camera. Next week, I'll open'er up and check it out. I'm still setting this web-stuff (wuff) up, and I want to drag posts from blogger into here. I'm burnt out on this web-crap, need a change. My white boat's bottom is sanded and ready for black botton paint. Its time to add some color...

"God created man, and in his image, he created him."
I think this is one of the most profound statements of all time. It is so profound that we cannot fully grok its meaning. We can come close at times. We all have our own ideas about what God is, or is not. Doesn't matter. Our current minds are usually not equipped to grok its deepest meaning. We are further confused by the following.
"Man created god, and in his image, he created him."
This is also a profound statement. It is an easier idea for many of us to understand. I think many people have understood this as is. Our minds are equipped to handle this. But in doing so, we often throw out the unknown of the previous statement. For those that don't agree with this statement, I think they still do not grok the previous statement, either at all, or more likely on a complete, divine level.
Both statements are true. Superficial understanding of the first, and understanding of the second, are all our current minds are capable of.
But we do get glimpses that are beyond our minds.
(Please disregard the use of god an man as meaning male - I'm just talking god and humans here).

snowflakes...
plowing snow, from winters past...
They say no two snowflakes are identicle. Same goes for us lost human folks. I'm feeling mellow, content. Its beautiful out tonight. Big flakes building up, creating a quite, serene, white, pure, world. Driving home, I had fun letting the tires skid a bit here and there, enjoying the sense of control, and brief lack of control. I was coming home from a volunteer support group. Only one person showed up, but it was still a great thing to do. Its very warming helping someone's pain. ...I also feel pain. The good familiar pain of muscle soreness, after a layoff from working out. My life has been total chaos lately, and tonight, I feel more in synch with myself. Now that winter seems to be finally arriving, I cant wait for spring next week. Didnt get to snowboard at all this season; bailed out of a trip...my friends are partying in Aspen right now. The snow tonight was sweet. It reminded me to keep having fun, keep doing things that make me happy. Should have done the trip and stocked up on memmories with good friends. Oh, well....next time. Meanwhile, tomorrow, I'll look for something positive to do, maybe hit my boss upside the head with a snowball for starters. The snow tonight stirred up a lot of good feelings for me. Some regrets, but they wont do me much good tomorrow. Snowflakes are all unique....but all cool and beautiful. Tomorrow, they may be gone. There is, however no need for us lost human folks to melt away. Take control and slide those rear tires a bit around the turns. I'm not sure how happy we would be if the road was forever straight and dry. Meet life. Tomorrow became today, and today will soon be tomorrow, which will only be today again. Learn to slide the tires a bit. The trick is to keep'em moving. (...and appreciate your snowflakiness. :)
