Cartoon (W3#208)…

DRAWING, WORDS

This week we were to write a recipe poem utilizing rhyming couplets, so I chose to write about drawing a cartoon version of myself accompanied with said drawing.

Cartoon

With brush pen in hand
One stroke laid down
Watch me turn 
Your mood around

Two circles drawn
A few straight/curved lines
Two filled in dots
In due time

Some color added
With great glee
This cartoon man
Is me you see

Easter & Questions on the Christian Faith…

DRAWING, WORDS

A Christian holiday I have a very hard time with. It is meant to commemorate the ressurection of the lord Jesus Christ after being crucified.

If that is so the case then is Jesus not walking among us to this day. The definition means returning life to the dead.

After 40 days he ascended into heaven, alive . Not for nothing but it would be easier to grasp if his spirit ascended into heaven as opposed to his physical self.

I am always at odds with myself in certain beliefs of the Christian Faith.

Jesus who died way back when is noted as dying for our sins commited today ? How can anyone take that at face value and accept ? If anything, Jesus died for the sins of the people of his era did he not ?

Weirdly despite my questions, I do believe in Heaven and in spirit a reunion with loved ones but because of my questions death scares the hell out of me.

I hate the ponderance of leaving the indulgences (Food/Art/Music/Blogging/Pleasure) behind to continue on in spirit in the afterlife.

I have faith but question a book that is meant to be the word of God. To me it is man’s interpretation of the word and in these times, those words in said book are warped and taken out of context to fit an agenda.

I type this post at 3:00 am and tear up. I wish to be cradled by the angels of my loved ones, as I chug through a holy holiday that doesn’t resonate with me.

I am constantly in conflict. I do not attend church for this reason, I cannot say words meant as prayer in unison when I do not fully grasp.

I often wonder how and why I met and married a woman deeply rooted in religion ? Perhaps Jess is meant to be a gateway of sorts, to ease my mind, I don’t know.

I suppose I could wish a Happy Easter to those who observe.
