New Leaf, Day 2

I did 15 mins. of Wii Balance games this morning. I suck at all but the putting the marbles in the holes game, but I did make it across the tightrope for only the second time. Oh, man, it's 9:30, I gotta type fast and leave for work.



July 2--Michelangelo Buonarroti, Sistine Chapel Ceiling: The Creation of Adam. That fateful electrifying touch that woke the world. We've all felt it when a concept sparked an idea or a smile ignited an emotion. Consider that tiny gap between God's finger rigid with power and anticipation and Adam's limp, nearly lifeless one. Adam is leaning back with one leg pulled up, languid, unenthusiastic, as if he isn't certain what is coming. God, however, is leaning forward, arm rigid and outstretched to bestow the gift of life, eager to start this experiment on earth. God is surrounded by a host of angels not at all sure what is to come. We need to lean into life, to reach out to make it happen. Energy is the key to life, energy for new things, for experiences, for what is to come.



Kinda preachy, but at least I wrote something.
