Sometimes I think I am an exceptional human being. Everybody is unique and special, but I get to thinking that I am more unique and special than most. I am, I think, objectively smarter and more articulate than most of the people I deal with. I also have more awe and gratitude for how amazing life in the 21st century is. I’m not very physically attractive and I have a dark sense of humor. Those are probably detrimental traits to how good a human I am and make me more average. I’m also healthy from the neck down. “Muscles and blood and skin and bones/ A mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong” as the song goes. Am I more creative? Probably. Am I more firmly grounded in reality? Arguably true but the case has gotten a little harder to make in the past few years. Am I just a better person than most? Sometimes I think I am.

You are an exceptional person. I’m just not sure that means you are more/less valuable than anyone else in the grand scheme of things. God pays attention to the needs of the birds. Does God pay more attention to you? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Maybe God thoroughly enjoys the individual uniqueness of every detail of Creation.

In my art there are themes that I try to bring to the front and there are themes in the background. The main focus is on the dominant themes. I think wisdom is a dominant theme for the gods. The birds are in the background.

That may be. I cannot fathom their capacity for experiencing our reality.
