Image

We are made in the image, right?

Then what does HE or SHE or IT look like?

And how many of us have white beards, four arms, or a hawk's head anyway?

Or, being made in the image maybe means something else. Something very different. Does it mean that we are made as a part of God?

Because we've come up with some pretty neat images over the years. It almost seems like a two-way street: we make our god(s) in our images. Then again, though where did those ideas come from?

The art that has come from trying to bring the divine closer has been amazing. Anything that works from the desire to come closer to the underlay of the universe ends up being somethin' else, depending on what was actually achieved. Perhaps the desire to create that image or be that image versus trying to make something worthwhile or valuable is what 'true' art is (I know I am NOT the first to think so).

Maybe the idea of an image is not an appropriate one, but considering how visual human beings are, we go right to what we can see. But it is the best we have for now.
