Roofs and Ceilings
Above has mostly been somewhat perplexing to me. What goes above. Is it strong main beams to shelter from the watchers eye or a "see thru" ceiling to gaze and receive the starlit nights and the daylight light from above. Or still is it art that belongs there like in the Cistine Chapel and Michaelanglos wonderous though fading creations.
I did my first ceiling painting at the age of about 16 or so. One of my older brothers chohurts, Earl, I believe commisioned and actually paid me to paint now what was it? a cross or a church or geez I can't rightly recall on his bedroom ceiling. It turned out pretty good it seems for all concerned.
Have you ever slept outside on a beach in summer and dozed under the stars not to mention being eatin alive by the skeeters. There is a sense of awe and freedom to it. Having a natural roof and perhaps the dappaling of a canopy of the leaves of the trees. Tis a comfort to the soul and a joining with the heavens and cosmos of sorts. You should try it. In the raw with no "glass" to obscure the gentle or not so gentle breezes that come with such.
I used to spend my summers as a teen sleeping in the tent trailor we had out back on the patio. Geez it was awful cold at times but the cold sort of made the experience more real and more "learning" and in a way more restful, maybe it was the fresh air.
Once as a child I was sleeping in a tent at the old house and a group of the "enemies" as we used to call the ruffians of the neighbour came at about 5 am in the morning and collapsed our abode and scurried away unseen. Well I suspect it was them but by the time we awoke the culprit or culprits were gone.
When I had my birds it was somewhat odd. They would fly
around my apartment oblivious of the "ceiling" as if inately they could not conceive a restriction on above. They would bump it as they flew until they sort of surrendered to this new concept or limiation on the freedom of flight.
Oh and then there was the time at the old house when I was sleeping on the top bunk of the bunk bed in the basement and suddenly or so something broke or moved and it came crashing down on my older brother who was sleeping below. He was not amused nor the household that awoke in an uproar or was it during the day? Hmmmm gettin old.
Ah ceilings... perhaps I am waxing as per so and so's take but I am truly curious as whats to be done with above. I think art is good though not very enduring and I do have a perchance for skylights though they are problematic of the elements ie: rain and such and to many angles or flatness on the roof seems to have plagued the likes of none the less than F. L. Wright and D. Cardinal so maybe a sculpted roof of some sort of waterproof medium.
Well whatever and good morning and polite thoughts on the subject or dome would be appreciated.

A US General has suggested the 3 suicides in Guntanemo are in retaliation for the Amercian Soldiers commiting suicide in Iraq.
The General said these 3 suicides were "An act of War" with no regard for human life and even there own. Anaylsts suggest thus that these may in fact thus be a counteract by Iraq against the US soldier commiting suicide in Iraq. Who would have thought the Iraqis could move so fast in retaliation and technology against the superior American Forces. Will this result in a counter offensive of more suicides by American troops remains to be seen.

To Be ....
To Be Principled
or
To Be liked?
Why should that be the question
Can't one be both
To be Principled and Liked
or at least "accepted".
A worthy quest. More >

Despite what some profess and swear, LOVE is "NOT"
killing, abusing and treating others like crap and
saying it's for their own Good.
Not sure what that is but it "CERTAINLY" isn't
Love and little Good or Truth can come of it.
It may be logic or logical but in Truth it isn't Love.
