Well, I think it is interesting...

Does it even count if it does not likely seem of interest to anyone else, but it does to me and I am my only audience, really.

Ok, here goes, perhaps I will complete a thought before my battery dies. When two people are involved anytime a meaningful union occurs the complexity of the union fluxuates. Huh?

The compatibility of two distinct wills fluctuates. What I am trying to say was so brilliantly captured in this lyric, "I'm open, You're closed."

And so I conclude that it is a miracle that any family ever existed and it surely required tons of faith in some greater purpose to unite and glue or seal parteners for ever. What I find most interesting is that it is done in such a state of ignorance, I wonder why that is. Did I know? Does it matter?

Let your light so shine?

We'll see.

In Ether 12 in the book of Mormon we are told that the Lord can make weak things strong unto us. So, I believe fully that running is a God given talent, and I will have it again, if just to prove that despite what science tells us and my ever growing tiredness, I will not give up! When I reach a point where I cannot seem to go forward I will pray harder and expect blessings. Maybe others will never even imagine the way I started and think my running just continued gracefully from birth, as It ought to have. I still believe that the greatest use of the body is in running. I feel a need to run that is so strong sometimes! It nearly brought me to tears when I could not even walk. My best friend tried to comfort me by saying, "not running Isn't such a big deal. Most people do not want to run anyway." Well, I do.

When I could I did not. It was not important and was not pursued. And they say "Use it or loose it." But, now that it is not even a real possibility for me, and requires a miracle, now I miss it and want it more than singing even. Next I am going to look up all of the scriptures I can that include the word run.

Perhaps, this talent was taken away so I would appreciate it. Though I cannot fully understand how this talent, when developed could be used to help others.

A living thing

Mom told me once about a type of photography where after a living thing had died, in the case I am thinking, it was a leaf and though part was missing, in this type of photo it still appeared.

I was thinking about photographs of people and wondering if the trapped image was of anything but the body. Cause yesterday we talked about how after death a body seemed incomplete and different without it's spirit. Are photos frozen moments of a living thing or are they just images of the visible body? I sorta feel like more of an essence is captured in photos somehow, maybe that is why we "Smile at the camera" to capture emotional state, too because physical is somehow not enough to record a living thing.
