Image of Jesus appears after snowfall in Brighton, New York.
When you least expect it you are suddenly confronted with an epiphany. At a time when a most needed boost in the spiritual morale of a community is upon us we have the comfort of this divine communiqué.
Isn't it lovely?

You INSIST on breaking my balls, don’t you ?!
PLEASE BELIEVE me, I have NONE – 0, zilch!
I did check TWICE this morning (mourning)!
I do credit you for the attempt though.
And, I do still find you very entertaining – believe it or not (smile).
That was a very nice sermon.
Thank you, ghost – thank you very much.
Not at all intended to break anything. You my dear are a good sport.
An experiment, a lesson in becoming savvy to the influences of images and text when presented together.
The image alone, silly and innocuous. The text, fluffy and reverent.
Together, depending on the viewer, humorous or incendiary.
I always been curious about the relationship between words and images. In the world today, with the internet and many media outlets on the tube we could easily become desensitised to their affects.
Think about the commercials for the lastest and greatest medications. As the heroine runs through a field of Queen Anne's Lace, in slow motion, while the side effects of uncontrolable diarrhaea are pleasantly tucked into our subconcious.
In September I stopped shopping at Tops due to an ad they ran to honor the victims of 9/11. I had no problem with their tribute but the attached 40% OFF Chicken coupon was indeed sickening greed at its finest.
Watch the news or ads and be aware of the words spoken and the images you see. It may change the way you absorb what you are being fed.
Sorry to ramble on, probally just warming up for a lecture tonight.
Well - for the very first time I am not confused at all – this really is a milestone! In fact, I agree completely with you – ah, another milestone. That makes 2 in one night (and - without Aspirin OR Advil for either of us). Simply amazing.
Who is the lucky one to have your lecture tonight?
A group of aspiring visual types that allow me to fill their heads with my rantings on image making.
For the love of Art and the Almighty dollar.
Oh, yes – The Almighty Dollar - that beautiful green U.S. currency that is in “G” we trust, I know it well.
What is up with this discrepancy of your “ink” image?
I always thought it was a vase (lol) – well, it looks like it to me (I see no elbow, wrist, or hand attached). I am once again lost (and just yesterday I was two up).
I think I had gotten this impression when you had disclosed that it was a Family Crest and as your children were born you had added their names “inside”.
I think it is very cool….where ever it is. It is colorful, meaningful and very creative.
And now that I understand it is on your arm – it really is a keepsake, isn’t it? - as it should be.
It runs up my arm from my elbow toward the shoulder.
You're still up one.
Ha – “characters”? (I read this from your below post) Is that what we are?
I seldom make it to the WSide either, my passport has been expired for some time now.
It is so far for me that I need to mentally as well as physically prepare myself for an “outing” like that. You know, pack a lunch, and stock up on water bottles, cd’s blankets and pillows. I am not even sure if my GPS will have the ability to safely guide me there, should I trust it?
Confession:
I have an American mechanic, I finance through an American bank but -
I have never owned an American car.
I know, I am probably going straight to hell for this – see you there!
Characters to me, as some of you seem to have personal connections beyond the novella that is the Chili Blagh.
I'm not sure the GPS will work over there. I think the NSA blocks satellites connections to the Westside. That wasn't nice.
P.S. I saw a jaw drop at the lecture last night. I think a light clicked on in their head and a clarity of thought finally hit them.
