Christianity Adjacent Chaotic Musings
And why is it just the cup? No one cares about the holy plate? The holy table? The holy olive oil bottle? (they had olive oil to go on the bread I'd think)
I mean in a way all of those things could also be relics. And maybe they are?
Many things are relics. Like famous paintings and limited edition sneaker drops.
An identical replacement with a different history is still "fake."
Consider some objects that are precious that you'd never throw away.
A gift of jewelry from a friend or lover. A special drawing by a child. A poem written by hand by someone who passed away.
If that object were replaced with an identical copy would you feel loss? Knowing that you had a perfect copy? But not the original.
I want to say "no I would not care" but this is a big fat lie I think.

Jesus does this thing where he says "take some of this bread, it's my body"
"take this wine it's my blood"
Taking common humble objects and ascribing greater significance. (Or saying they transform if you like)
It's odd that everyone gets obsessed with the particular cup used on this occasion. (But long after the fact.)
Kind of feels like it is missing the point? Couldn't ANY cup be the holy grail? Just like ANY bread can be the body of Christ.

The lego cat is on a shelf. This is the third time I've noticed that one of the ears has been ... removed and tossed on the ground.
But, I have not seen who has done this.
The fabric used for #crossstitch (if you want a neat grid) is called 'AIDA' I thought there would be a service that would print pattern (*.json or *.oxs files? there seem to be many formats)
This isn't really a thing. Oh yes, they will do it for photos but, I think precision printing that lines up with the grid is a challenge.
(Also most pattern designers are more experienced than I am. They seem to just count it out... or they use iron-on patterns which sounds hard.)
I will try counting.
I was hoping I could just send off the file and get the whole kit bundled together with a printed fabric pattern, floss of the right colors and a little hoop.
But, I will need to do that myself.
So I might make some extra kits to give as gifts.
Who wouldn't want to contemplate an ant in this way.
The plan* continues!

Do you want to design a cross-stitch pattern? This website is neat.
Now to try to figure out how to print this. If it works it could be fun to make different species.
I think I'd like to see how small I can make the patterns. Since I am very lazy and won't complete a big complex project.
There are also sites that will convert photos, but the results look like waaaay too much work to really make.

You can think about #sauropod necks for you whole life and never run out of questions to consider.
Here is a good video from a small but great channel.

The more I find humans confusing, frustrating and disappointing ... the more I like ants.
That is how I arrived here.
At least ants are good. At least the ants will survive and thrive someday on this planet.
War is hell.
What is it good for?
Making lots of money*
*not for you LOL. and if you don't agree you hate America.
