Good Lord, No! That would be an act of desecration ...

"Illumination, or 'natural theology' as Eastern Fathers call it, is the perception of the logoi or inner essences of created things. By this is meant that each thing, a rock, tree, animal or person, is not just its outer physical observable nature, but is also its invisible, mystical name or word by which God created, sustains and directs it towards its fulfilment."
The Sacred in Art and Architecture, by Aidan Hart.

Hi Thomas,

Long time no see.

As you can see I'm still also exploring my Christianity and, one day, I'll find my path.

Re: Signs of Life

Actualy, I'm reminded of a quote from the tv series 'Joan Of Aecadia';

Joah; 'So, your God are you?@

God; 'Yes'

Joan; 'Ok, prove it, perform a mirical'

God; 'I already have' (points to a tree in the park)

Joan; 'Oh, that's just a tree'

God; 'Fine, you make one...'

Hey, pfw –

Long time.

A word from an old samurai ... "Pen and sword, in accord."

Or, as Dorothy discovered, heart and mind together, that's the way to go.
