That's very well drawn and a provocative and maybe controversial concept. What inspired the piece?

KisKatte said:

Me and my monk we love each other. Though our relationship is nearly platonic we kiss and hug. For more than 10 years. So we are sinners in paradise Hopefully

Generally spoken: We are all little devils. We are all sinners. But we will be in paradise

Did you fall in love with a monk? That must be a difficult situation.

KisKatte said:

Yes often it is difficult. But I would rather die than not to have him. I have no difficulties yet living him a life as a monk. I suppose that makes him happy and I like such men. I was informed by God this is my man. Everything leads back to him . I will never leave him. Although here on earth it is not always easy. But we have good times too.

Unfortunately it sounds like he is not going to be available. Maybe you can put him in the 'dear and cherished friend' category. Pining for someone you can't have can make for powerful art but it's a hard way to go.

KisKatte said:

The most problem is his lack of time. And his fear someone will come in and see us hugging. That is why the last 3 times he did not even hug me. The most problem is with him, not the circumstances.

We talked about marriage, but I will never know how serious he is. He wants me to stop smoking, and so on... and we would have to talk about it realistically when my education will be finished. Maybe we could move together then. But as long as I leave it up to God's hands it is in God's hands if I suffer or not. I am not able to put him in the "dear friend" category. My love for him is endless. It will never change. But this week for example God delivered me from the pain. It is totally in God's hands

Oh sorry I didn't know if he had taken a vow or not. I assume single monks have celibacy vows?

KisKatte said:

Yes he has a vow. But I believe God is greater than that. God can lead people into monastery and out of monastery. If you made a silly vow, the worst you can do is keep it. Also lifes can develop different. Nothing special about it.

Isn't a vow a promise to God, like a covenant? But I'm sure God would release him however but it probably isn't something he will take lightly.

You may find some encouragement for the philosophy behind this painting in leviticus 16:10:

"but the goat on which the lot fell for Aza'zel shall be presented alive before the LORD
to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness
to Aza'zel." (Leviticus 16:10)

and.....

Isa 9:7

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

and....

Romans 11

32

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

and....

Luk 7:47

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.


My conversation with the Rabbi.....

That's weird. I always thought devils, demons, live in hell, not in paradise. I used to be into dragons, who sometimes look like demons. I invented a character named Seraphina Starfire, who was an amethyst and sapphire dragon, later on I made her into a beautiful peacock dragon, i gave her blue, purple, pink and green colors. Yes i know peacocks don't have pink on them. She was a good dragon and I made up stories about good dragons who fought evil dragons to help humans.
