The Three Visionaries
From the beautiful mind that is David Hayward, I present to you the cartoon and my subsequent comment recently posted on his blog Naked Pastor. Upon seeing my comment to his cartoon, he asked if I could post it here on my blog, and, since I was rather honored that he would ask such of me, I readily complied. Thus, without any further ado, enjoy!
He casually peers in the mirror and is startled sees all three men staring back at him.
“Damn it!” he exclaims! “I thought I was beyond such desires at this stage of my journey!”
He shakes his head vigorously, hoping to shake such a profane vision from his sight. He lifts his head slowly towards the mirror and there they are, staring back at him, mocking him with their lustful cravings.
“Damn it again!” he explodes. “Why did I think I could remove these on my own? How can I eliminate these from my sight? What can I do to clean up my thoughts, heart, and mind? Is this some kind of ridiculous test God? I don’t appreciate this!”
He pounds the wall, turns away, and exits the room, teasing himself with the hope that, if he removes the mirror of self-examination from his life, he won’t have to deal with the fact that those three men are quite ever-present in his day-to-day struggle.
