Children Nowadays .. Just No Interest In Truth Or Beauty!

The speaker was most impressive and had already spoken for 35 minutes detailing the oil painting by Leonardo Da Vinci, painted between 1503 and 1519.He said that it was probably the world’s most-famous painting on a poplar wood panel. He explained that The poplar panel shows evidence of warping and was stabilized in 1951 with the addition of an oak frame and in 1970 with four vertical braces. Dovetails also were added, to prevent the widening of a small crack visible near the centre of the upper edge of the painting. The sitter’s mysterious smile and her unproven identity have made the painting a source of ongoing investigation and fascination.

He went on to talk about the its exquisite synthesis of sitter and landscape , all the while staring at the back of the canvas

“The painting presents a woman in half-body portrait, which has as a backdrop a distant landscape. We admire the sensuous curves of the sitter’s hair and clothing, created through use of fine shading, These are echoed in the shapes of the valleys and rivers behind her. The sense of overall harmony achieved in the painting—especially apparent in the sitter’s faint smile—reflects Leonardo’s idea of the cosmic link connecting humanity and nature, making this painting an enduring record of Leonardo’s vision".

All the while the little girl had sat obedient and mystified but eventually could contain her frustration no longer

“Mummy” she whispered “why does he talk and talk and not just show us the Moana Lisa painting?

Her mother briefly explained what all grown ups already knew and accepted. She explained how a very evil ruler banned the viewing of the actual painting many years ago because it’s beauty far exceeded that of his new bride and also because such simple absolute beauty could be a distraction and moral danger for simple folk

The little girl was perplexed and asked who the man was who was boring her to sleep

“But who is this man up there mummy.. Has he ever actually seen the painting?”

This is one of our learned men, the mother explained … No he had never seen the painting but he had gone away to a special training college to qualify him for the onerous task of explaining to all about the Mona Lisa.

“Only for wonderful persons like him, the mummy continued we would never know anything about the exquisite beauty and mystic quality of the painting

The little girl seemed distant for a moment and then asked absent mindedly

“Can I play with my Nintendo now?

“Yes love: Later when we get in the car”

It is the Ministry of NSearch that all inherit the Kingdom of God

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law....

Now the works of the flesh are evident,

which are adultery fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies,

outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy,

murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like;

of which I (Paul the Apostle) tell you beforehand,

just as I also told you in time past, that those who

practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control,

against such there is no law. Those who are Christ's

have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another,

envying one another.

Galatians 5:18-26

{Sorcery: "Pharmakia;" Primarily mentioned as one of the "works of the flesh." In "sorcery" the use of drugs. Blue Letter Bible. Galatians 5:20}
