everyone knows the meaning of "today sucks," right?

It's later at night. I'm tired. I've had an terribly long day. And pretty much the majority of today has sucked. There you have it. Anyway. We've taken a break from the Old Testament lately at our Bible study and have been watching Nooma videos. We watched one tonight about Breathing (Breath) and how constant that is and how God is there as constant as our breath. Hard to see that sometimes. But He is, in a way. Of course, always.

That's my right brain reflection for today.

Also, I just had a discussion with Adam about art masters. (you people who roll your eyes at my artiness can skip this...) Of course the artist that I find as the most masterful is Rembrandt. And Adam says there can't be any artist that is more masterful that Rembrandt and he urged me to name one. And I said maybe others could argue Picasso, but I can't really come up with another one. Maybe you can.

I've also been reading this retired minister's blog. I find many of his reflections interesting. Sometimes hit or miss for me but at least I thought I'd pass it along.

May you get a minor glimpse of peace today. Or maybe a major one?

(BTW... this blog is under a bit of construction... :)

4 peoples had something to say:

YAY! The right brain is emerging from the left brain eclipse! =)

I wish I could comment on artists. I did take a Renaissance Art History class way back when...I really remember liking Giotto's frescos in Florence. But as for what it means to be masterful in art...ummm...can I bring this back to the beauty of the respiratory system?

Didn't we decide way back when I was in Romania that we were going to have coffee?

I don't roll my eyes at your artsy-ness... I'm just intimidated by it! I think when God gave you an double portion of art talent and appreciation, he took that portion straight out of me before I ever left the womb! Well, maybe not the appreciation part... I appreciate art. But I think Norman Rockwell is masterful, so what do I know?

@ Hannah - actually another friend that was with Adam and I during the discussion mentioned Norman Rockwell. For his genre, he was pretty masterful in my opinion. He honed in on very specific type of art and there are tons of people that love his illustrations. He's really an American icon. See... you can join in the discussion just fine. ;) lol

Yay, when do we discuss masterful paper-towel dabbing art?
