Thank Heaven for every goal. Also: I am the brother of Bernini's Saint Teresa.


I do it when I'm stripey, too.


Or am I just looking up at the screen to check out if this is a bad hair day or not?


This one was for you, dad.


Saint Teresa, by Bernini




Today I felt a God-fic coming on. It featured Kaká, C.Ronaldo, a monastery, the Vow of Silence and shades of Umberto.

Somebody, rescue me, quick.

On the other hand, insane as it sounds, it would be an interesting challenge to write a fic involving religious faith. I haven't read any such. It would be an ethical challenge. And could be aesthetically rewarding.

Also: canon!!

And finally: we art historians love Catholicism.

"Saint Teresa's love of God and her desire for spiritual union with him found expression in a vision in which an angel pierced her heart with a golden spear and sent her into a trance. The erotic intensity of her vision is vividly suggested in this image by Teresa's swooning expression and languid pose, and by the deep folds of drapery, which convey her agitation."

Duh... *shudders* I love Renaissance and Baroque, nothing but sensuality, desire and life in those statues and paintings, lol. Such a pity I didn't know how to appreciate this when I wrote my homework on it back at school. All form and perfectness...
Gorgeous pics of Kaká! :D It's really got hard to find anything more after I've run my search all over the internet and fished out most I could get... :(

But your idea for the fic, yay! sounds too good, makes me go all tingly here :D

And Jesus, all the beauty that runs through my mind right now *sigh* Thanks so much :)
