Extra Terrestrial Brothers...hmm.

I found an interesting statement in this cool article I came across this morning. It seemed especially timely considering a conversation I just had last night with a friend of mine in which we were saying that while we both believe that the Bible is absolutely meant to be the final authority on any matter of import, it isn't supposed to be a compendium for the universe. The Vatican seems to consider the possibility of life on other worlds consistent with a Christian worldview these days. (I know, quite a change from the days of persecuting Galileo. The article mentions that too.) Perhaps more Protestant branches of the faith could take note and become a bit more open minded on the subject.

In other news, I have a full-blown migraine, and while that's nothing new, I noticed something a bit scary. I'd been sort of waiting for one. Not in self-defeating sense; I'm well aware of the idea that the power of suggestion or expectation of an acute pain episode can bring one on. Just in the sense that I know my body and I know that 6 months is the outside range of time between migraine episodes, and it's usually more like 5 months. The last one I got was on Christmas day--yay, Christmas migraines are the best! NOT. So for the past week or so I'd been wondering if I'd have one this month or if it'd show up in June. I clearly remember getting one just as I was in the middle of writing Anakin's fall in One Path, which was written in June last year. Anyway, so the aura started last night about 1:15 or so. After my usual initial reaction of "Oh, no. Here we go..." I was actually relieved. It was like "Well, at least now I don't have to keep waiting for it." Then I realize, "Geez, Dar. What does that statement say about the state of your sanity?"

Anyway, I'd planned to have some One Path posted when KJ's visit to Aruna is over, but now I anticipate another few weeks. I'm not going to feel like writing much this week, and the plan was to finish the current section and have Aruna read the chapters when she's back, so it'll have to be put off until the beginning of June most likely. Sorry, folks. I know it's been a long time.

Hope the migraine doesn't give you too many issues.
As for One Path, I'm ready to beta whenever you're ready to send them.

Thanks. Like I said, One Path is just staying on hold a while more. *sigh*

That's cool. I don't mind the wait, my life is a tad busy with the play I'm involved in. I'll be posting about that in my personal journal later.

Do you know Bradbury's poem "Christus Apollo"? If not, you should read it.

My copy is in "I sing the body electric."

I wish I could find a copy online. Anyway, the subtitle to the "poem" is "A celebration of the 8th day of creation and the promise of the 9th"

It's a phenomenal piece of work.

I know of it, never actually read it.

[florentinescot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you need to dig it out and read it. I'm not certain where my Bradbury is at the moment. I don't think it's in GA.

I'll add it to the 13,000,000 mile long list.

LOL! I do so hear you!

Cute icon.

Thanks! To the best of my knowledge, it was done by A. Nonnymous -- At least I've never seen anyone credited for it. I wish I knew, though. Feel free to snarf.
