Fitting In and "Mormon Moment" - Pt 3

So, the famous webcomic xkcd posted the picture below a little while ago. Note the section on blogs.

Thank you, xkcd-man.

According to this map, I'm in multiple places at once, because this is a writing/travel/personal/journal/religious blog. I have defied the laws of physics!

Speaking of defying the laws of physics, there is a wonderful poem by Carol Lynn Pearson entitled "Position," which I may have shared before. It's so good, though, that it bears sharing again:

If "A" looks up to "B"

Then by nature of the physical universe

"B" must look down on "A"

Rather like two birds

Positioned

One on a tree

And one on the ground.

Or so thought Marjorie

Who had always wanted to marry

A man she could look up to

But wondered where that

Would place her

If she did.

Imagine her astonishment

When she met Michael and found

That together they stood

Physics on his head.

You could never

Draw this on paper

For it defies design

But year after year

They lived a strange

Arrangement

That by all known laws

Could not occur:

She looked up to him

And he looked up to her.

Ah, if only more of life could overlap like this - Carol Lynn Pearson is both a Mormon and a feminist. I love the fact that they don't have to be competing ideologies, even though there are some incompatibilities. In Church, some people say that the reason women don't have the priesthood is because women are so much kinder and concerned naturally than men, and that women don't need it, it is the men who need it to equal themselves to women. I don't like that argument, because it still puts one gender above the other. In my estimation, everyone is perfectly equal before God, but it is society and our mean mortal minds that puts out of balance that equality.

Yes, the photographs from the Hubble Telescope are back.
