-----

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

This week's theme at My Soul's Dark Imagination was "Desperate Daphne".

Note: I didn't realize this meant the Apollo and Daphne myth until the challenge went live, so I won't enter this there.

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Dragonflies".

I couldn't decide which of these I liked best, so I'm posting all three. I varied the transparency levels in each of them. I think my order of preference is: 1, 3, 2.

"Trump Tower Lebanon" - Postcard

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon", which made a joke out of the deaths of men, women, and children, offended me, but apparently some thought those deaths were "hilarious", so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My piece and words are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

Maybe Tom the bully will leave me another comment, telling me to shut up, because I'm not allowed to say anything unless he (and other "Free Speech is fine as long as it agrees with mine" bullies) approves of it.
