The image to the left consists of 23 spheres that are changing in size and alternating in colors of Silver and Gold. Multiple rings of a protecting grid also surround these spheres. The total number of spheres has a direct connection to my current biography, which consists of 23 Chapters. I also located a link to describe the alternating colors of gold and silver in a Biblical scripture in Proverbs 3:14. It reads:
“For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.”
This scripture is definitive because the 23 spheres are the representation of a sperm cell (DNA). The Merchandise. What an extremely powerful statement for the building block of my life.
Merchandise: Anything movable customarily bought and sold for profit. Mercantile dealings; commerce; trade: hence, gain or advantage. To barter; trade; buy and sell.
My existence relates directly to this analogy and scripture given the facts surrounding my adoption in 1968 after 2 weeks of life. I wasn’t necessarily bought by the state, but donated due to my circumstances. What I am sure of though is that my birth mother paid a heavy price for giving me up to the state, yet it had nothing to do with money. Sold for a profit refers to the fact that my adoptive parents wrote a check for $$$ to take me into their arms for the rest of my life.
