Humans tend to wear this common state of being on the inside where no one else can see it, using a variety of masks to hide what is inside, depending on the various social situations they find themselves in from moment to moment.  But seldom do they advertise to the world that this longing for truth and understanding exists as a permanent dweller in their souls.  This generous soul gave us an image of what this need, this longing, looks like when worn on the outside.  Thank you for showing and sharing this beautiful photograph of truth, dear soul.</description><link>http://spiritmascot.blogspot.com/2006/12/longing-for-truth.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Spirit Mascot)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423133891491260789.post-1471734271604617530</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 Dec 2006 21:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-12-15T15:31:13.903-06:00</atom:updated><title>Meet one of my trusty assistants</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2421/1028214586363679/1600/908092/angeloncomputer.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;clear: both; float: left; width: 173px; height: 152px;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2421/1028214586363679/320/197202/angeloncomputer.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana;&quot;&gt;Meet Jude, a hard working advice Angel who never stops listening to the the questions that are carried on the winds of human thoughts.
