I see my Bible on the seat of my pickup, the cover made up of circles and squares. In the bottom right–hand corner, a diamond inside a square. I visualized a diamond inside a square inside the diagram of the Vitruvian Man. I imagine the diamond spinning on its axes within the square, picking up speed, the engines of my mind picking up momentum, always in a constant perpetual state of motion, what image was I seeing now? The diamond in the square reminded me of all the times in the Bible where men had built altars inside the temples. The dimensions of the ark of the covenant, Noah's ark, the Fibonacci sequence, the golden ratio, phi, all seeming to fit inside this diagram.Through the cross is salvation; I draw a cross within the diamond inside the square, forming twelve triangles within the diagram. My mind was being overwhelmed, but he knew each day what I was able to handle. Was the diamond inside the square a representation of an altar built within a temple? Could the twelve triangles formed in the diagram represent the twelve gates of heaven? Had the Vitruvian just spun another secret into my mind?My puppy Chloe, and I walk around Friendship Landing enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun, listening to the wind rustle through the tops of the trees, the water trickling though the rocks. After I ask for guidance, I think about Crystal. Obviously, my addiction right now is her, it is my pursuit of love, of understanding what love is. As I walk around Friendship Landing, the tide was as high as I had ever seen it, and the knots in my stomach were tighter than ever, for I knew Crystal was-at this moment-probably reading Tomorrow Is a New Day. Yesterday, someone had placed stickers on rocks around the pathway of Elsa the Ice Queen, who had always reminded me of Crystal in appearance. I thought perhaps it may have been a sign to not give her a copy of the book. My anxiety was climaxed, the corners of my mind were taking over my entire square of existence. How could I win Crystal's love, prove my love for her? How could I show her everything in the world was connected?Could I explain to her the true secret of the Da Vinci code? Could I liberate her mind from the prism of this world? Could I make the most beautiful diamond in the world understand the equation for sin, grace, love, and salvation are one and the same? If I couldn't win her love, could I save her soul? Could I show her where the beast resides, where the all–seeing eye watches from? Could I show her the twelve gates of heaven, the door to heaven, and give her the key to the Emerald City? I will try because I am persistent, I am in love with the woman in the red dress, and because I am L. L. Grace.
