Bridge (Familiarity Unknown)

Michelangelo
Stretched God’s hand to Adam’s;
A bridge to heaven.







* For Gareth James' Familiarity Unknown contest and intended to honor of both the image 
and the thoughts it inspired.  The natural bridge and its expansion across that magnificent 
sky reminded me of the now iconic image that Michelangelo painted on the ceiling of the 
Sistine Chapel.  I've been chasing Michelangelo lately, so it doesn't surprise me that I'd see 
reflections of him in nature (or vice versa?).

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
