Leonardo Da Vinci  1452 - 1519 / Anonymous Level A    Ginevra De Benci / Anonymous Level D

"All the animal creation, which he treated with wonderful love and patience, gave him great pleasure.  Often when he was walking past the places where birds were sold, he would pay the price asked, take them from their cages, and let them fly off into the air, giving them back their lost freedom."  - Vasari on Leonardo

The first picture recognition of this lifetime occured in 2004 of the portrait above of Leonardo (though at the time, I only knew that I knew the face and did not realize that this portrait was that of Da Vinci).  On being introduced to the current incarnation of Leonardo, recognition was immediate, and joyous.  These 4 people are all currently connected in the present lifetime.

"Christianity will go.  It will vanish and shrink. ... I don't know what will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity.  We're more popular than Jesus now.  Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary.  It's them twisting it that ruins it for me." - John Lennon

"Therefore it is unnecessary for a prince to have all the good qualities I have enumerated, but it is very necessary to appear to have them. And I shall dare to say this also, that to have them and always to observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright, and to be so, but with a mind so framed that should you require not to be so, you may be able and know how to change to the opposite..."

- The Prince as quoted on Believers Against Bush

"Who would be the fool to take you

Step into a life of maybe
Love is hard to find
In the church of the poison mind…"
