When Venus aligns with the Sun and Earth is in between, then the outline of Venus can be seen against the Sun. Peace will guide the planets (sing with me)...and love will rule the stars . Well, something like that.

| The Venus Transit. Reminds me of the yin and the yang but only in black and gold. |
Sometimes, when I look at a flower that I am studying for a painting, I am totally overwhelmed by the complexities and vastness of the universe. The interdependence of everything and the myriad of eco systems is unfathomable. One cannot but feel the existence of a supreme power. Omnipotence. Omniscience. Omnipresence. Totally awesome.
It is good practice to try to keep learning about stuff that goes on in the world around you. Learning for me, is also a regular lesson in humility. Everytime I think that I am learning something new, I am blanketed by a feeling of how little I will always know. Understanding how the universe works quickly becomes incomprehensible. I guess that's why they call it faith.
"For a painter, nothing is more difficult than to paint a rose, because in order to do so he must first forget every rose that has ever been painted." - Henri Matisse
