Soul Searching

I always pictured the soul as looking like a black piston

- must look up pistons, see if they look the way i think -

Nope, they don't. So how, then?

I imagined it as this solid black cylindrical object that stands upright in the centre of your thorax. Like a black candle about one-and-a-half inch in diameter and six inches high.

Where I got that idea, who knows.

So I thought I'd look at images of souls, to see how other people imagine them.

Hm.

Here's a kinda nice one.

Ha Ha. A blog to add to the list below:

Nowhere do I see an image of the human soul the way I, as a child, imagined it.
Where did this imagined image come from? Words do provoke images, sure, but ...
Oh and also, the soul seemed to me a relatively heavy object.

Very like this! Only closed at the top, and black, and smooth:

Here's something alittle different:

And that is enough soul-searching for one day.
