A Tired Hummingbird

So I haven’t kept up on my posting over here 😅 said I would. Really bad at social media tbh.

Just like last summer, I'm making an effort to get out and about and do stuff locally. I've lived in Detroit for two years now and feel like I've seen so little and know so little about the area, so in the spring and summer 1 am out and about and doing stuff.

That and if you let me I will become a full on hermit if I don't leave the house. It's a problem.

This isnt the first time I've been to the DIA, they often have different exhibitions going on so l try to go whenever I can. As for the art, this isn't even all of it, there were many wonderful exhibits with gorgeous history, they had a few different exhibitions going on, such as Reimagine African American Art, Cotopaxi, and Highlights from the Modern Collection.

I really enjoyed my time there, and cannot recommend it enough. Especially because it's free for some residents of specific Michigan counties! I also grabbed some stuff from the gift shop on my way out, so look out for that!

I really like working through the Seven Deadly series but I feel like way too many people get hung up about the whole sin aspect of it that it’s hard to actually talk about them, because I have to go over the same “no I’m not glorifying the sin this is a commentary on what it means,” always followed by “it means your sinner”

I don’t even follow your religion leave me be 😫😖

I have been haunted by the thoughts of balance and sin and redemption since I initially learned about Abrahamic religions and their teachings (lucky enough to not grow up in the church) and it always tickled me how the use of sin was only ever explored in over indulgence.

But what about under?

What happens when you have no trace of lust? No trace of wrath? Pride? Envy? Gluttony? Sloth? Greed?

I would say the sin isn’t limited to over indulgence but also under, which means there’s more of a balance to redemption than a sense of rejection.
