The shapes and the lines of this sculpture stop me for long times before continue to walk.
Need particular attention for a God.

This butterfly let me get so close I couldn't do a square crop. This is a SOOC shot except for denoising and the crop.

“The rebirth of which Christ speaks is not a single event but a continuous dynamic of inner renewal. Certainly, sacramental baptism, the “birth by water,” can be given only once. But birth in the Spirit happens many times in a man’s life, as he passes through successive stages of spiritual development. A false and superficial view of Christianity assumes that it is enough to be baptized with water and to observe certain ethical and ritual prescriptions in order to guarantee for oneself a happy life in the other world. But this is only a naive view of Christianity. True Christianity is growth in the life of the Spirit, a deepening of the new life, a continuous rebirth, in which the exterior and superficial life of the ego-self is discarded like and old snake skin and the mysterious, invisible self of the Spirit becomes more present and more active. The true Christian rebirth is a renewed transformation, a “passover”in which man is progressively liberated from selfishness and not only grows in love but in some sense “becomes love.” The perfection of the new birth is reached where there is no more selfishness, there is only love. In the language of the mystics, there is no more ego-self, there is only Christ; self no longer acts, only the Spirit acts in pure love. The perfect illumination is, then, the illumination of Love shining by itself. To become completely transparent and allow Love to shine by itself is the maturity of the “New Man.”
- Thomas Merton from Love and Living
“The very pink of perfection.”
-Oliver Goldsmith

I am not perfect. I say stupid things sometimes. I laugh when I'm not supposed to. I have scars left by people who did me wrong. I'm a little crazy and probably won't change. Love me or not. But I make one promise, that if I love you, I do it with a full heart. ♥

How slippery can it be?
It is important “Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.” By Denis Waitley
.
Because, “Mistakes are part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons can only be learned the hard way.” By unknown
.
We have to realize that “There is a slippery step at every man's door.” By H. W. Thompson
.
Which is of “Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.“ By unknown
.
Therefore, „What a word is truth. Slippery, tricky, unreliable. I tried in these books to tell the truth.” By Lillian Hellman
.
In addition to that, “As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” By Henry David Thoreau
.
Finally, “March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.” By Kahlil Gibran
.
In the end we all have to make a deep mental path and it is worth it.

Nobody's perfect.
But have you noticed some people are so obsessed they look for perfection in everything? Maybe we all have a lil' bit of crazy that craves the immaculate. I, myself, have had a nervous fit over odd numbers, things in the wrong position, situations that don't fit in perfect timing, and even broken families used to bug me (though I grew up in one). But one thing I learned early in life is... you can't expect people to be perfect. People will always hurt and disappoint you. It's up to you to figure out what's worth putting up with. I've wasted a lot of time thinking I could be a perfect person for those willing to love me. But perfection doesn't exist. There's always something in me that's going to upset someone, or make people yell at me.
This realization sank in hard, and made me retreat from everything. I needed a break from sl, flickr and all social networking. But I'm back! \o/ Can I promise I'll be around as often as I can? Yeah! :D
However... RL has been demanding my attention more than usual. I took this break as an opportunity to visit the doctor's, have myself tested and checked out. Turns out things aren't as good as I thought. I need to go through a biopsy. *shrugs* Who knows what's coming from those results? So.. let's make the most of our time together, shall we?
