His Darling, My Darling

Humble and submissive to his Darling,
He says, “My Darling is your Darling.”
Awesome in Power, yet Gentle and Kind
There’s no need for another, for his Darling is mine
Free from the pollution of sinful ills.
My Darling seek only to please his Darling’s will.
Pure as clear crystal drops that descend from the sky.
My Darling is no less than the apple of His Eye.
Pure as heavenly snow-white doves-
His Darling is my Darling the one whom I LOVE.

This piece "His Darling, My Darling" is inspired by the relationships that Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Noah, and King David had with God, and the women who loved them. The wives recognized the commitment, covenant, and the entwined nature with God in their husband's lives. These men lives are examples of how the walk with God was a spiritual intimacy of being a friend with the Creator; He, (God) their Darling, was their keeper, and their strength, and He, God, became Darling to the wives of these men.

A Witness To History

God has placed each of us in a specific time to be: a witness, a testimony, a force, and a peculiar people until that which is perfect comes...then perfection of all things will be complete.

Russia and the State Hermitage

The Hermitage Museum is located in St Petersburg, Russia; the web address is www.hermitagemuseum.org.  The site is remarkably organized to answer any question a visitor might have concerning: address, hours, tour days, admission price, bookings, and even closures. It is designed with 3D enhancement with virtual effects so that visitors all over the world can click on links, and experience great tributes of history.

     In 2011, almost three million Russian and Foreign visitors toured the exhibitions. The Hermitage is compiled of ten complexes wherein together they hold archeological objects, paintings, sculptures, numismatics, works of graphic and applied art, and more that total to nearly three million artifacts. 

     Each complex or Centre’s has a history of its commission, architect, forms, proportions, and year built. Each has been detailed and uniquely outlined that it complements the Director’s efforts. This also includes a layout of the name of each room; for example, I was surprise to see the Leonardo da Vinci Room, the hall of French Art the mid-18 century, the Augustus Room, and the Room of the Culture and Art of the Hellenistic Era. Each room has such a fascination of splendor that there is no question why Russian citizens are often included on the tour with foreign visitors.

     My most favorite was The Hermitage During The Siege; it included a dedication to those who preserved the artifacts during the war of 1941. I was in awe as I read about those who labored to protect those artifacts; the persevering of those items were treated as lives being saved; the perilously moments did not stop the love for Art and Literature. The galleries were designed with bomb shelters for such a purpose because those articles were destined to be preserved to remind us its history.

(After reading the comment from Samuel Jackson it provoked me to wonder on the following:) Help me understand this: how a man can walk away from his child, continue with his life, and never look back at his child until holidays. Though true, he may pay child support, but no phone calls to ask, "how was the first day of school?" never knowing if the child had a cold, fever, or scraped knee. No interaction until Christmas and Summer, is that a dad? That thin line between love and hate... is that it? hate for the mother? Hate for the woman who God allowed to give birth to a beautiful child who wear the man's name? A child should represents the pride of the dad; God said, "This is my Beloved son in whom I am well pleased." Pride for the Son should place you with the son no matter what because Mary, Jesus's mother, she was there with her son when he turned water to wine and when he died on the cross of crucifixion. Why distant yourself from the child because the mom will always be there. Why would a man not be there?
