Sloth

Though mankind persuades itself that every weed's a rose.

Roses, you feel certain, will only smile.

Beautiful words by Ee cummings. And how true they ring. We twist the good to be the bad and the bad to be something better than what it is. But in the end, who is to say what is a sin and what isnt? Which is really good or bad? And what is good or bad?
Questions exist to muddle the mind, what would we do without them.
Wikipedia defines sloth as " a wasting due to lack of use'' . Sloth to me is green goo. that sticks to the bottom of a drain slimy, sleepy and lazy. worms make their homes in it and cockroaches feed on it.
To me it is a trait to be despised, but maybe Im wrong here.

Wild Oceans of Lust

Lust is the second part of my 'deadly ego' series of character sketches. I somehow envisioned lust to take the form of a seductive mermaid. And then I discover that in Greek mythology Siren's were

seductresses of the sea (mermaid-like creatures) who lured sailors with their beautiful voices and music to shipwreck on the rocks. A beautiful, inspiring concidence. 

The sea adds energy and wild force. The type is literally dripping with desire. And the second mermaid is swept in the throes of passion. Unknown hands reach out from the sea to hold the mermaid's fin. 

I'm excited about finally getting to show this one to you, and I've just started working on the next one- 'Pride'! Have a lovely weekend, I'll be seeing you soon :)
