I have been thinking a lot today about a lot of things. My relationship has been in my thoughts, and what I am doing with/ about it. I had a weird day at work.
Also, I had a weird conversation over facebook about homosexuality. I left the conversation feeling sad about humanity at large. I cannot believe that I know people who believe that homosexuality is in the same category as murder. It is times like this that I am glad I don't cling to religion.
It just felt like a hateful conversation and I don't feel that way towards anyone. Not even murders. There was even some "I don't want my kids to grow up in a world where homosexuality is okay" (not verbatim) but it made me want to cry. I feel how, I assume, white people who were against slavery felt. You try to talk and make people see and understand, but it is overwhelming. If I was white back then I think I would have been a coward in the streets. But, I certainly would have opened my house to be a part of the underground railroad.
I found myself wanting to lie and say I was a homosexual just to see the reaction but then I realized it was not worth it and the reaction I might get may have broken my tear free streak. Just writing this now makes me sad. I guess I would have rather stayed ignorant.I guess I should have just minded my own business. :'-(
Mini who, I decided to blog because I have finally created something I like and that I am proud of and I wanted to post the finished product. Of course I can still find a million things to "fix" but I am happy with the way they look. :-)
Self Portrait...
I think I really need to create more. It helps my mind simplify things and it makes life not so harsh. Things get out of control very easily and art is my solace.
Sanctuary...
