Old Town New View

So I am officially moved into Fresno, CA. It is a very strange feeling doing something you had never thought you would. I never thought i would live with my parents or in Fresno ever again. It's a bit like the feeling where you see a shadow passing by and you are almost positive that no matter where you move your head that shadow is going to collide with it and destroy your brains, but the tense feeling fades to relief and that new found relief leads to a feeling of stupidity. I actually believed that I was going to move home and be knocked unconscious immediately. I had such little faith at the end of a faith filled situation and I am ashamed to say that I steel feel like I am in the blurry stage of exiting a tunnel in broad daylight. It is almost impossible to put your finger exactly on the feeling but I can tell you that you should never say never to God. You challenge Him, even unknowingly, and He is going to kick you in the rear. I am in an old situation with an entirely new twist and it is terrifying but i can tell you that i am now excited. I thank God every day for the life I have had and the support given through my friends in Riverside, and I am asking Him now to help me thrive.

I'd like to share with you now a passage from a book I have now read through twice since i have been home that deals largely with the theme of help. I took from this book many things but in this transitional time in my life it brought to life in me that I need to want life and to move in a positive direction. I don't know if you will understand this but I feel good knowing that it is out there. It is the closing paragraph of "A River Runs Through It" by Norman Maclean, and it is a somber paragraph but it was strangely comforting to me.

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.

A Different Perspective

Did you ever wonder what the world would look like if we viewed it through infrared eye's? I didn't. until today. Here's a different perspective on the same stuff.









Kinda nuts huh?

This man's paintings makes me feel so much more than any other painter has.
