Contemplation... was created by
I found this picture and it captured my attention in a most peculiar way. As I was drawn into the scene of the dragon sitting in the cool, still, night air, I could not help but feel sorrow and despair for the poor dragon.

Is this going to be my last night? Am I the last dragon to see this beautiful moon in its fullest of light? What has lead to me being considered the evil? I do not think to kill, but only to survive in a harsh, cruel world, so why can I not live in peace? Is this all there is to my life, to die alone and unloved?

It is in this simple picture that I see the plight of humanity. Each one of us feeling alone in this crowded world. The wonder of the Force and the cruel intentions of men without compassion.

By All that is Holy and Sacred, Save Us from Our Own Devices.

May the Force Be With Us as We Look Into the Night, May We Be At Peace With Each Other, And At Peace With Ourselves!

Once You Have Made It To The Top…

You Can Either Help Those Beneath To Reach The Summit With You,

Or Be Pulled Off The Top By Them For Your Selfish Ego!

Look Into This Picture…WHICH ARE YOU?

I Wish To Stand On Top With As Many Friends As Possible, So That We May All Gaze At The Wonders Of Life As One Being!

One Heart;

One Mind;

One Consciousness;

A Human Experience Of The Force!

It provides the light that destroys the dark.”

Which is the Rising Sun and Which is the Setting Sun?

The Answer is Not in Your Perspective but in what truly happened!

You may deduce from what you know of the sun, the reflections off water, the tides of the sea, or the clouds in the sky, but you will never know unless you were there!

If you want to know the truth you must have been there when it happened, or all you are getting is the perspective of someone else’s perceptions.

You don’t know me; you have not lived my life! Do not judge me by hear say or perspective.

Walk in my shoes and I will walk in yours. Only through the sharing of your life with others can they truly know the light within you.

It has been suggested that man should be more like the animals of the world. In the Bible does it not say that the Lord has provided for the birds and the fish, shall He not provide for you? or something like that. (rusty on my bible quotes)

With all that man has become; are we better or worse off than the dog in this cartoon?

Oooh, I like that one.

The dog...keeping life simple...one meal at a time.

And FYI, the bible verse(s) you are referring to reads thus:

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

-Matthew 6:25-26, NIV.

Who put out their hand first?
Who invited who to this meeting?
Are these men friends?
Are both men American?
Are they Christian, Muslim, Jewish?

Why do these questions matter?

WHAT IF BOTH HANDS WERE WOMEN?
