Grand Forêt

This blog is mostly about Religious Art, but I try to mix other topics in to keep it interesting.

An Icon of the Empire

I found this icon on Religious Imagery in Culture. Fantastic! I love that the centurion is giving a blessing (and holding a Bible) - do storm troopers READ?!

Other Star Wars-themed religious art has appeared on my blog before. Interesting that both feature artificial-type characters, not so much the human or animal-like variety.

I'm digging this. Thanks RIiC!

"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to savor the world. That makes it hard to plan the day."

Margaret Fuller quotation

What a woman needs is not as a woman to act or rule,
but as a nature to grow, as an intellect to discern, as a soul to live freely and unimpeded to unfold such powers as are given to her.
