Beautiful Mess

I wonder what the pallet Michelangelo used while painting the Sistine Chapel looked like. I wonder if it was a beautiful, well structured pallet or a mess of blended hues and shades. Something tells me that it looked like a mess. Something in the back of my mind says that in order to get the perfect blend and the breathtaking tone found in every square inch of the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling Michelangelo had to make a mess of the tool designed to find that right balance.
Then I think What a mess this country is in.
We have so many shades and hues of Conservative thought splotched on the internet. We have so many ideological variants within the “Right Wing” of the United States.
You get up close and see infighting, desperate aggression, confusion, despair…You see humans. Sometimes our particular beliefs do not mix well. It is time we tried harder to get along and put our numbers and our ideas to work.
It took Michelangelo from 1508 to 1512 (four years. sound familiar?) using the mess of a pallet in his hands to paint the world into a new level of art.
I really hope that everyone of us uses our particular shade of Conservative thought to its fullest advantage. We have a beautiful mess to combat an ugly void with. Let’s do this thing right.
