Real and Imagined
Anne Lamott was interviewed yesterday on NPR. I adore her. A Born Again Christian AND a Left Wing Liberal, she says that she can't find all the quotations in her bible that the Christian Right throws around justifying their unChristlike behaviors. She is speaking out, Thank the Lord. Hallelujah. She has Jesus credentials from way back, and her audiences are filled with neocons who imagine that she is just like them. She would like her son to grow up to be a Democratic Precinct Chairman. Me too.
She said "You know you've created God after your own image when he or she hates the same people you do."
Which brings me to my photograph. A perfect shot of a little family cluster, hanging around images that have been created after themselves. Very hard to tell the difference unless you look carefully. I have forgotten the sculptor's name, but he has many a lifelike statue in this particular piazza.
As a final note on the theme of reality and it's variations, I am meeting an internet girlfriend in the flesh today. She is visiting from across the ocean, because her partner is attending a conference here. This is the first time I have pursued an activity of this sort. She is an excellent shot.
