Simone Weil time again! One of the essays in Waiting for God is entitled "Forms of the Implicit Love of God." Her main argument is that before a soul has "direct contact" with God, there are three types of love that are implicitly the love of God, though they seem to have a different explicit object. That is, in loving X, you are really loving Y. (in this case, Y = God). As for the X of the equation, she lists: Love of neighbor Love of the beauty of the world Love of religious practices and a special sidebar to Friendship “Each has the virtue of a sacrament,” she writes. Each of these loves is something to be respected, honoured, and understood both symbolically and concretely. On each page of this essay, I found myself underlining profound, challenging, and thought-provoking words. There's so much to consider that I've gone back several times, mulling it over and wondering how my life would look if I truly believed even half of these thin
i like the first one, cause it's fall. fall makes you feel cold? you lose heat form your head?
ReplyDeletehmm. i need a haircut/hairshape badly.
time for another visit to tronts with a haircut to boot!
That would be so cool if you had spiders hatching out of your shoulder!! Be sure to take pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteAs long as you're not experiencing symptoms besides some mild itching, I don't think you have anything to worry about (unless the bite looks like these photos here: http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/spiders/ss/brown_recluse_spider_bite.htm)
My understanding of spider bites is this:
ReplyDelete- if the venom is dangerously toxic, you would be dead or very ill by now
- if the venom is not too toxic, lightly scratching/touching it will actually help it heal, I think by delivering more blood to it (I was told this works, counter to mosquito bites)
- if the venom is radioactive, you would have great powers and correspondingly great responsibility by now

As to hair, I think I like the longer (first) one better, but also I wouldn't trust a man's opinion about hair.
afro-chick: you can also throw in a visit with lil' ol' me!!!
ReplyDeletelisa: gross. pretty sure that would have already happened...
thom: you're saying you've not heard the stories of my super-powers yet!??!?! also, man-opinions matter most on my hair, since in the end, they're the ones i want to attract. (i mean that in the most non-desperate way possible)
everyone: i'm leaning towards something in the mid-length, assymetrical bob range.
FIRST ONE!!!
ReplyDeleteRe: pumpkin anything - according to Amy V.(M)'s post on facebook, Chapman's has a Praline Pumpkin Pie icecream. If I see it in the stores I will let you know where.
