So, it seems I am one of few not overly depressed with the semester or the weather. I am happy with where I am at the moment. School is good. Life is good. Snow is good. I still enjoy layering on clothes and jumping into the nearest pile of snow. I have included a set of wings in my picture...representing the dozen snow angels I have carved these past few days. The heart is added to my shirt to express a sparked desire towards missions and social service This past weekend I signed up to participate in a medical mission trip to Honduras this summer. I just feel good at the moment.

I found this image of Kalypso and Odysseus most captivating. Kalypso is staring at Odysseus with longing eyes while sitting on a red cloth. Kalypso's eyes and body language shows how she cares for Odysseus. The red cloth may also represent the love she has for him. Perhaps her body is exposed as an attempt to seduce him. Odysseus is standing on the highest rock with his back turned to Kalypso and looking out to the sea. Perhaps he is standing on the highest rock to show how special Kalypso believes him to be. Odysseus looking out into the sea makes me feel that he has a longing to return home. His back showing to Kalypso shows that he does not care for her. Also, Odysseus almost appears to look like a statue. I think this is to show that he cannot leave the island and is stuck at one place. The distance between them also points out that there is a lack of love between the two.  http://www.hellados.ru/img/pic/calypso_odysseus.jpg
