 Monday. I had physical therapy tonight. The subway platform was like a sauna. My knit shirt was soaked with sweat by the time I got to my appointment, so I bought a fresh green t-shirt (pictured) from a street vendor.

My physical therapist is a terrific guy, but he always runs late. Tonight I got bored waiting for him so I took this self-snapshot while sitting on his massage table. I don't know why there's a halo around my head -- must be my intensely spiritual aura.

The Simpsons-like character is supposed to be me, too. I created him tonight at www.simpsonizeme.com.

When my physical therapist finally was ready to see me, I surprised him by taking a photo of him, too. :-)

Great job on the Simpson's character. It looks just like you. Mine DID NOT turn out nearly so well.

'Best simpsonise me Ever'

Well I have to say I spent too long transforming myself and the outcome was nothing like as impressive as this

The only trouble with the simpsonised Larry is that he takes the attention away from the actually you. Great self portrait (especially given the circumstances) and exceptionally kind eyes

ha! saw your simpsonized self and had to go do one. it's in my portfolio now.

fun photo! i looked up aura info for you because I was curious. I was thinking that this could either be white or yellow. So I'll cut and paste and then you decide.

Yellow

Yellow is a mental color in the aura. You will see this color around the head more often than probably any other color. It signifies concentration, thinking, learning, studying. It can also indicate spiritual development, usually on the very pale to white shades. The muddier shades of yellow can signify fussy, over analytical behavior. It can reflect being overly critical about others or life. It can also mean the need for attention, or feeling they need recognition.


WHITE

When white stands out in the aura, and I mean in a way that it is very apparent you are seeing an abundance of white, and not just white in the aura or a poor perception of the aura, this is indicating pure pranic energy, life force, truth and purity of spirit. This has been seen in yogis and gurus. It indicates that the energy of the individual is purifying and cleansing and of the greatest spiritual awakening. You may also witness white speckled lights around healers and mediums while they are healing or communicating. White speckled lights are a sign that spirit and healing energy are present. I've actually seen and witnessed this while at a John Edward seminar. It appeared as though someone had thrown glitter up around him with all of the little flashing sparkles of light around him. I've learned that I generally now see this when light beings or spirit is around, it's always an indicator for me.

Oh my gosh, this is very funny! Hate hearing how hot it was, and hope the appt. went well. Looks like if nothing else, there was *some* fun to be had.

Nice portrait of self - good and clear. It accentuates your holiness, no doubt. :o) The Simpson Larry is, of course, a lot of fun. Thanks for the story - funny how we are inspired to take photos, no?

The Larry Simpson's not a bad likeness and it's a cool addition to the story and photo.
