Winter

I just published page 21.  It also just happens to be the Winter Solstice. I'm not sure why this coincidence fascinates me so much.  Maybe because it might not be such a coincidence at all.

I finished my last page on the Fall Equinox.  Then the page before that on the Summer Solstice. Maybe I spend too much time thinking about how the seasons change.  Maybe I feel that three months is long enough to obsess over every line squiggle and choice of color. Maybe it's a cosmic out-pour of creative energy that I've somehow tapped into.

What I like about us is that we have so many different ways of thinking about things. You can take the route that is safe: using science, hard reasoning, and logic as your guide; or you can go with the other: God has revealed Himself unto me - through the beauty of this leaf.

One is objective, cold, and distant. The other is subjective, warm, and personal. And there's all sorts of thought in between.

I find that neither really satisfy though. I learn, and want to learn more, about both, whether it be Molecular Biology or Seventh Century Mysticism. From what I can tell, it's not so much about the thoughts themselves.

It's more that...

We are the parts of the Universe that's thinking them.
