Suttree.

Speak of the power of dark.

This image invites, beckons, seduces. I find myself drawn deeper and deeper, almost achingly so.

Too many words can spoil it, and I hesitate to go that direction. Let me only say this--that light shines brightest that is immersed in darkness.

An apt description of the importance of remaining in touch with the cosmos, in these historically challenging times.

[I've been unable to locate the artist for this masterful watercolor. It's the cover image on an Italian-published version of the Cormac McCarthy novel, Suttree.]
