Medusa as in Stygiomedusa gigantea
byVanderleunonDecember 12, 2021
And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man:
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.
— Wordsworth, Tintern Abbey
Extremely Rare Giant Phantom Jelly Found 3,200 ft Deep in Monterey Bay This ghostly giant is a rare sight. But in November 2021, MBARI ((Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) researchers spotted this giant phantom jelly (Stygiomedusa gigantea) with the ROV Doc Ricketts 990 meters (3,200 feet) deep in Monterey Bay. The bell of this deep-sea denizen is more than one meter (3.3 feet) across and trails four ribbon-like oral (or mouth) arms that can grow more than 10 meters (33 feet) in length. MBARI’s ROVs have logged thousands of dives, yet they have only seen this spectacular species nine times.
There He goes again: showing off. God enjoys doing such things while demonstrating His creative power and infinite imagination. Who on earth could have possibly imagined such a gossamer creature as that jellyfish?

“Who on earth could have possibly imagined such a gossamer creature as that jellyfish?”
Proof that God is a Chinaman. Shredded Jellyfish is the bomb.
A popular saying in Brazil is, “God is Brazilian.” When Santa Anna witnessed the destruction of his armies by Winfield Scott, he sighed, “God is American.” Animists believe God is trees and rocks. Atheists proclaim, “There is no God!” and spend all of their miserable lives trying to prove it so. Hindus believe there are millions of gods, some of whom manifest themselves as cows. Egyptians believed crocodiles and cats were gods, as was their pharaoh. Ancient Indigenous of Central America believed monkeys were gods. Romans believed that their senate could transform dead Romans into gods. The Greeks believed that humans and gods could mate. Aztecs believed that their gods needed human hearts to eat and human blood to drink. Phoenicians and Carthaginians believed their god Moloch fed on roasted human babies. Modern day weirdoes believe that we all are gods, while Mormons believe that “we shall be as gods.” Pop music aficionados in the 1970s proclaimed, “Clapton is God.” Nietzsche wrote that, “God is dead.”
So confusing. I’m sticking with the God of Abraham and Isaac.

Perhaps *all of them* have a little piece of the Truth, just like the blind men groping the different parts of an elephant?
It would be impossible for any man or any religion not to possess some part, however small, of the truth. All men are born imago dei and imprinted with the Natural Law upon their souls. Thus every man carries a reflection of God wherever he goes.

5 fagz are sitting in a hot tub when a jellybaby comes bobbing along just below the surface.
“OK, who farted?”

And how do you get three of them on a barstool?
Turn it upside down!
Amazing, only god could have the imagination to create such a splendid creature. When one comprehends this sea creature, lives, breaths, to a degree thinks, eats to stay alive, I’m amazed.
We are really similar in every way. I’ll bet these sea creatures don’t kill each other for sport, or profit.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

It looks like it’s made of silk.
Or woven from a spider’s web.
Yes sir, and only God could make such miracles !
